NIA researchers find gene to explain mouse embryonic stem cell immortality

Researchers at the National Institute on Ageing (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, have discovered a key to embryonic stem (ES) cell rejuvenation in a gene - Zscan4 - as reported in the March 24, 2010, online issue of Nature. This breakthrough finding could have major implications for ageing research, stem cell biology, regenerative medicine and cancer biology...
