What is stemness?What is a stem cell? This is both a biological and a philosophical issue. As a philosopher, my aim is to describe the kind of property (or set of properties) that stemness is. On the basis of scientific literature analysis, interviews of stem cell and cancer stem cell specialists, and my own expe... |
Using microfluidics for quantitative studies of post-embryonic development in C. elegansThe development of most metazoans can be divided in an early phase of embryogenesis and a subsequent phase of post-embryonic development. Developmental dynamics during the post-embryonic phase are generally much slower and often controlled by very different molecular mechanisms that, e.g., ensure... |
Watching DNA Recombination and Replication, One Molecule at a Time: Understanding Biology from Stochastic BehaviorWatching DNA Recombination and Replication, One Molecule at a Time: Understanding Biology from Stochastic Behavior |
Cellular Biographies: Reconstructing Developmental Trajectories and LineagesComplex gene expression programs determine the biographies of cells: how a cell divides, becomes specialized and differentiates. I will describe our recent efforts to use single-cell RNA sequencing and CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to generate new tools to reconstruct differentiation trajectories an... |
