Researchers here at the School of Medicine have found that a small piece of RNA, called a microRNA, plays a key role in determining when muscle stem cells in mice start to divide. It&#8217;s the first time a microRNA has been implicated in the maintenance of the adult [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Previous studies have shown that stress can contribute to a range of health conditions, from the common cold to heart disease. Now new research from UC San Francisco suggests that the mere anticipation of a stressful situation may increase a person&#8217;s risk for age-related diseases. In the study, researchers examined how major forms of stress [...]]]></description>
