Humans could also possess a mechanism to temporarily slow down the development of an embryo more

Artificial transcription factor reprograms cells of human and different animal species with high efficiency more

In mice reprogramming of energy metabolism restores cardiac function after infarction more

Max Planck researchers identify epithelial stem cells that control the growth of the thymus at different stages of life more

Coronavirus not only infects the human retina, but can also replicate in it more

First complete genome assembly of planarian flatworm reveals treasure trove on the function and evolution of genes more

Stem cells sense neighbourhood density to make decisions on their behaviour more

Researchers have developed a new method to reproduce large genomic rearrangements in mice more

Newts possess the ability to regenerate even parts of their hearts. The key to this amazing skill are dedifferentiated cells. Thomas Braun wants to uncover how mature heart cells can rewind their development program and be returned to an earlier, more primitive state. more
