Conservation of epigenetic regulation by the MLL3/4 tumour suppressor in planarian pluripotent stem cells

The Mll3/4 histone methyltransferases can act as tumour suppressors in humans. Here, the authors identify three orthologs of mammalian MLL3/4 in the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea and show that knockdown causes outgrowths in regenerating animals, suggesting that the tumour suppressive function of...
