Molecular Switch Identified That Flips from Self-Renewal to Specialization in the Making of a Kidney
Molecular Switch Identified That Flips from Self-Renewal to Specialization in the Making of a Kidney April 5, 2021 Share Self-renewal and specialization are two opposing functions in progenitor cells. Scientists resolve the mechanisms behind the opposing developmental actions of beta-catenin, a co-activator of the established molecular Wnt signaling pathway, that paradoxically regulates both self-renewal and specialization of mammalian progenitor cells destined to become kidney cells. The new s...
