Prolonging somatic cell proliferation through constitutive hox gene expression in C. elegans
Abstract hox genes encode a conserved family of homeodomain transcription factors that are essential to determine the identity of body segments during embryogenesis and maintain adult somatic stem cells competent to regenerate organs. In contrast to higher organisms, somatic cells in C. elegans irre...
