A research team led by Professor June M. Kwak from the Department of New Biology at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee), in collaboration with Professor Jong Kyoung Kim’s team at POSTECH, has uncovered the ...

A research team has uncovered the mechanism and underlying reason behind the transformation of residual cells into epidermal cells during the abscission process, where plants naturally shed flowers, ...

Understanding how cells transform into specialized types during human development is a central challenge in biology. This complex process, known as cell differentiation, holds the key to understanding ...

As stem cells decide who they want to become, they embark on a journey of gradual differentiation into their final cell fate. This transformation is traditionally depicted by the Waddington landscape ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Gardner’s team first focused their efforts on the challenging task of creating mouse strains that could recapitulate the complex transformation in a simplified model. “It took three years to make ...
