NYSCF – Druckenmiller Fellow Investigates Gene Priming
NYSCF – Druckenmiller Fellow Dr. Wee-Wei Tee of New York University published a paper earlier this month in Cell on the key role a specific gene plays in priming the developmental genes of embryonic mouse cells. Gene priming is a nuanced and little understood process leading to gene activation and deactivation leading to pluripotentcy, or the ability for a cell to become any type of cell in the body.
