Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...
For decades, aging has looked like a one-way street, a slow accumulation of damage written into our cells. Now a wave of ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...
Paper in Cloning and Stem Cells shows that animal eggs do not support specific reprogramming toward the normal human embryonic state. Investigators at Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC) have found that ...
