Stem cells and cells in the process of differentiation

Caption

Stem cells and cells in the process of differentiation into neurons (nuclei in blue and messenger RNA in green). In stem cells, the gene messengers associated with their functions leave the nucleus, while they are retained in the cells in the process of transformation into neurons. The opposite occurs with genes whose function is associated with neuronal differentiation.
