A cell in worms that transforms itself into a completely different type of cell when males mature, to play a key role in mating behavior, has been recently discovered by a team led by UCL researchers. The researchers say their findings, published in eLife, may lead to new clinical applications if scientists can reproduce the mechanism to reprogram cells to adopt new functions.
