Surprising Behavior of Transcription Factors Challenges Theories of Gene Regulation
How cells develop and the diseases that arise when development goes wrong have been a decades-long research focus in the laboratory of Distinguished Professor of Biology Ellen Rothenberg. In particular, the lab studies the development of immune cells known as T cells, which act as “intelligence agents”—they circulate throughout the body, detect threats, and determine what kind of...
