Thus, targeting epigenetic factors that change the accessibility of the chromatin could help regulate stem cell lineage plasticity and restore proper stem cell function. We started off by studying the ...

A new study reveals that memory-related brain activity continues to shift even after learning, challenging traditional views ...

Questions regarding the plasticity in differentiation have led to a debate about the potential of cells to 'transdifferentiate' or to 'reprogramme' themselves. These issues can be addressed not ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

They have various support functions, helping nerve cells to function properly. Scientists knew from earlier research that astrocytes could influence brain plasticity. In a previous experiment ...

When these cells differentiate to make specialized cells and tissues, they gradually lose their plasticity, or ability to change into different kinds of cells. A one-week old embryo only contains ...

When stomatal lineage behavior is modified this alters not only stomatal numbers, but also numbers of non-stomatal cells. Thus, regulation of stomatal ... underlying the stomatal developmental ...

therapy resistance and lethality of metastatic cancer is driven by dynamic and tenacious metastasis stem cells (MetScs). The Ganesh lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie ...
