Researchers from two groups at Umeå University have published findings that challenge the established understanding of how cells maintain their identity.

The study, featured in Science Advances, suggests that the current model may not accurately reflect the mechanisms involved in cellular identity retention.

These insights could have significant implications for the fields of genetics and cell biology, prompting a reevaluation of existing frameworks.
