Cell Reprogramming Guarantees the Healthy Functioning of Stem Cells

Cell reprogramming converts specialised cells such as skin cells or nerve cells towards an embryonic stem cell state. This reversal in the evolutionary development of cells also requires a reversal in the biology of telomeres, the structures that protect the ends of chromosomes; whilst under normal conditions telomeres shorten over time, during cell reprogramming they follow the opposite strategy and increase in length. A study published in the journal ...
