New mechanism for genome unpacking in stem cells identified
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet and Gurdon Institute in Cambridge, United Kingdom have identified a novel mechanism allowing pluripotent stem cells to maintain their genome in an unpacked state. Embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells have the ability to give rise to all cell types present in the adult body. In order to maintain […]
