How can a specialized cell change its identity? A research team investigated a 100% effective natural example of this phenomenon, which is called transdifferentiation. This process, by which some ...
'Metaplasia' is defined as the conversion of one tissue type to another, whereas 'transdifferentiation' is defined as the conversion of one differentiated cell type to another. Despite scepticism ...
Researchers have discovered that a leukemic cell is capable of transforming into a non-cancerous cell through epigenetic changes. All the tissues of our body have the same DNA, but they perform very ...
All the tissues of our body have the same DNA, but they perform very different functions and have very different aspects. For example, a lymphocyte and a neuron share the same genetic material, but ...

Cellular reprogramming is like the fairytale of spinning straw into gold: you take an abundant, mundane cell type, dose it with a cocktail of chemicals, and voilà—now you have an unlimited supply of ...
