Researchers have unveiled an intriguing phenomenon of cellular reprogramming in mature adult organs, shedding light on a novel mechanism of adaptive growth. The study, which was conducted on fruit flies (Drosophila), provides further insights into dedifferentiation—where specialized cells that have specific functions transform into less specialized, undifferentiated cells like stem cells. The study is published in the journal Developmental Cell.
