or for the regulation of cell ageing in stem and progenitor cells, has underscored the essential role of asymmetric cell division in animals ranging from single-cell organisms to multi-organ ...

Our main focus areas are: Asymmetric cell division: we develop methods to analyze whether stem cells apportion ... can change stem cell metabolism and thereby influence stem cell function. Impact of ...

The asymmetric segregation of chromosomes during cell division is proposed to be a characteristic of stem cells, and this 'immortal strand hypothesis' was proposed as a way in which stem cells ...

New research reveals how a localized source of a signaling molecule directs a dividing stem cell to produce two different cells—one identical to its parent, the other a more specialized cell type—and ...
