miR-34a-mediated asymmetric divisions in stem cells. Asymmetric division mechanisms are silenced in normal intestine or colon stem cells. The asymmetric division rate increases to rein in excessive stem cell expansion during tissue regeneration caused by inflammation. Loss of miR-34a enhances symmetric division and stem cell proliferation.
