March 1997 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” May 2026 in “Science Advances” The study explores the shift between internal ribosome entry site (IRES) and cap-dependent translation during stem cell differentiation and stress, using an IRES/Cap reporter mouse model. It reveals that caloric stress increases IRES/Cap translation across tissues, and this increase also occurs during normal differentiation of hematopoietic and hair follicle cells. Low IRES utilization is linked to higher multipotent capability, suggesting that cap-dependent translation is associated with greater stemness. The RNA processing protein PTBP1 regulates this translation preference, indicating that modulation of translation initiation is crucial for cell differentiation. The findings underscore the role of IRES-mediated translation in tissue differentiation and regeneration, with potential implications for understanding stem cell function and therapeutic strategies for conditions like hair loss.
