Core Tip	Stem cells are important in regenerative medicine applications due to their capacity to self-renew and differentiate into specific cell types. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Recent studies suggest that miRNAs are key molecules in the regulation of stem cell fate decisions; this regulation is manifested as the fine tuning of cell- and tissue-specific gene expression. This review summarizes the current insights into stem cell fate determination by miRNAs and focuses on stem cell self-renewal, differentiation, and reprogramming. Small molecules that control stem cell fate are also highlighted.
