CXCL12 is secreted by cells of the lamina propria and activates the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in globose basal cells of the olfactory epithelium. Receptor activation promotes division of these stem cells, and thereby regulates the size of the stem cell pool. Absence of...

Kappa opioid receptors (OPRK1) promotes the transcription of the stem‐loop miRNA, miR‐7a‐2, through an unknown mechanism. The precursor miR‐7a‐2 in turn generates mature miR‐7a‐5p through processing. The miR‐7a‐5p targets and inhibits Pax6, which facilitates the...

In long bones, osteochondral progenitor cells function during rapid bone growth while osteoadipogenic progenitors act during bone maintenance. We showed that mTert is expressed in an age‐dependent manner and marks growth‐associated osteochondral progenitor cells...
