Dedifferentiation: History & Research

Dedifferentiation (/ˌdiːdɪfəˌrɛnʃiˈeɪʃən/) is a transient process by which cells become less specialized and return to an earlier cell state within the same lineage. This suggests an increase in cell potency, meaning that, following dedifferentiation, a cell may possess the ability to re-differentiate into more cell types than it did before…
