Epigenetic Changes Identified That Occur In Adult Stem Cells To Generate Different Tissues Of The Human Body

The team led by Manel Esteller, director of the Cancer Epigenetics and Biology Program in the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), Professor of Genetics at the University of Barcelona and ICREA researcher, has identified epigenetic changes that occur in adult stem cells to generate different body tissues. The finding is published this week in The American Journal of Pathology. The genome of every single cell in the human body is the same, regardless of their appearance and function...
