ABSTRACT
Recently, RNAi, including microRNAs (miRNAs), has become an important tool to investigate the regulatory mechanism of stem cell maintenance and differentiation. In this short chapter, we will give a brief overview of the discovery history, functions, and mechanisms of RNAi and miRNAs. We will also discuss RNAi as a tool to study stem cell function and the potential future practical applications.
