Editorial overview: Cell differentiation and development: New kids in the block — new tools and concepts opening new doors in development
Section snippets
Magdalena Götz is a developmental biologist who discovered the glial nature of stem cells in the developing brain and elucidated key cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurogenesis. This led her to pioneer direct reprogramming of differentiated glia towards neurons for repair. Magdalena Götz is director of the Institute of Stem Cell Research at the Helmholtz Center Munich and Chair of Physiological genomics at the Biomedical Center at Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany.
