UnTEThering ( Smooth Muscle ) Cell Plasticity Running title :

TET 2 is a Master Regulator of Smooth Muscle Cell Plasticity Running title :

UnTEThering (smooth muscle) cell plasticity.

C ellular plasticity has become the subject of intense research, with perhaps the greatest example provided by the recent Nobel Prize winners Drs Yamananka and Gurdon and the demonstration that terminally differentiated fibro-blasts can be coaxed into assuming an embryonic stem cell-like fate. Emerging evidence suggests that plasticity inherent in cells may be hijacked in the progression of dis...
