“You Must Know Where You Come From”

Where do you come from; where do you go? Pluripotency, differentiation and malfunction of stem cells.

The international conference 'Stem Cells in Development and Disease' took place in September 2011 at the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in Berlin. It brought together scientists working on different types of stem cell and covered the latest findings in stem cell biology, including the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of reprogramming, maintenance of pluripotency and different...

They Know Where You Live!

In this paper, we demonstrate the possibility of predicting people’s hometowns by using their geotagged photos posted on Flickr website. We employ Kruskal’s algorithm to cluster photos taken by a user and predict the user’s hometown. Our results prove that using social profiles of photographers allows researchers to predict the locations of their taken photos with higher accuracies. This in ret...

Where do you come from and what are you going to become, reactive astrocyte?

Reactive astrogliosis is the process by which astrocytes respond to central nervous system injury or disease. The origin of these cells is under debate. Herein, we contribute to comments regarding our recent report and discuss the context of our findings. One of the main goals in the field of neuroscience is to understand the cellular basis and molecular pathways that underlie injury and diseas...
