👇👇👇 New preprint dropped! Where we dive deep into the factors that restrict pluripotent stem cells to make the RIGHT cell types in the RIGHT place in planarians. Many surprises in this very exciting story. @kuangtse.bsky.social
🎓 After 5 years, the heart of my thesis is finally live!

Pluripotent Stem Cell Plasticity is Sculpted by a Slit‑Independent Robo Pathway in a Regenerative Animal 🧬🧠

Pluripotent Stem Cell Plasticity is Sculpted by a Slit-Independent Robo Pathway in a Regenerative Animal
Whole-body regeneration requires adult stem cells with high plasticity to differentiate into missing cell types. Planarians possess a unique configuration of organs embedded in a vast pool of pluripot...
