To divide or not to divide? 🧬

A new paper from Dr. Jörg Mansfeld (BIOTEC, @tudresden.bsky.social alumnus) reveals a chemical switch that controls the choice.

#CMCBnews
The study, initially launched at the @cmcb-tud.bsky.social and later led at the ICR by Dr Jörg Mansfeld, reveals that a subtle chemical switch determines whether cells continue to grow or enter a state where they stop dividing permanently.
