From Droplet to Discovery
Stem cells overflow with potential. Their ability to become other cell types is crucial to our bodies during development and throughout life. But this potential can be our downfall if it goes wrong, turning some of our most useful cells into malignant cancers. While investigating a pathway involved in stem cell differentiation, researchers at UC Santa Barbara found...
