Disabling printing underscore as subscript in figures

Underscores print as subscript in figures. Can I disable it because I want to print the underscores as well.
Thanks.

Although this allows underscores to print, it does not allow special symbols such as \mum to work.. Does anyone know how to allow both.

I did find out another way to keep the underscore. \_ does work ? I have answered my own question? Convert all underscores in the text to \_ instead of changing the interpreter to none.

Set the Interpreter property for that field to 'none'; the default for text() fields is LaTex.
title('This_title has an underline', 'Interpreter', 'none'); % Also works with xlabel() and ylabel()

It appears that stackedplot treats titles differently. The great majority of plot types are within axes, and in those cases the axes has a Title property that is a text() object. But stackedplot() does not use axes: it is a direct parent of a figure, and the Title property for it is a character vector, with there being no Interpreter property.
It appears that you need to use the method suggested by @Jan in https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/9260-disabling-printing-underscore-as-subscript-in-figures#comment_20281 -- namely to replace the _ with \_
title(regexprep(filename, '_', '\\_'))

If you are using sprintf, \\_ should work for you.
old_cells = sprintf('Old cells: Y = %3.3f (X) \\^ %1.3f',coefs_old);
young_cells = sprintf('Young cells: Y = %3.3f (X) \\^%1.3f',coefs_young);
