Vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac fibrosis are associated with a reorganization of the structure of blood vessels. Researchers led by the University of ...

At the recent American Society of Hematology annual meeting, researchers presented preclinical data examining how transdifferentiation between hematopoietic lineages -- driven by LMO2 expression and ...

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 ...

A new editorial paper, titled "The senescence-associated secretory phenotype induces neuroendocrine transdifferentiation," was recently published in the journal Aging In this editorial, researchers ...

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 ...

We report on the case of a 41-year-old man with a 2.1-cm primary malignant melanoma of the skin, located on the crown of the head. The tumor was stage pT4 (with invasion of contiguous structures), ...

Direct reprogramming or Transdifferentiation is a way of inducing changes in the cell type from one lineage into another lineage, bypassing pluripotency. This approach is an innovative choice to ...

Conrad Waddington famously visualized development as a landscape in which a young cell differentiates much as gravity acts on a ball, leading it down forked canals that represent alternate lineages. A ...

The ability to reliably convert the phenotype of one cell to another would be a game-changer for regenerative medicine. However, predicting the reprogramming factors necessary to induce cell ...

July 10, 2025 - A research team led by Professor Yiwei Li and Professor Bi-Feng Liu from the College of Life Science and Technology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) published an ...
