A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

Damage to the mitochondria, the 'power plants' of the cells ... diseases and type 2 diabetes. Such damage also speeds up the ageing process. However, the cells are normally capable of identifying ...
