Learning from stem cells how to pause life

Miguel Ramalho-Santos

Associate Professor, Principal Investigator - UCSF

Embryonic stem cells and embryos are known to grow very rapidly. But we have found that they can also be put on hold in a state of reversible suspended animation. These studies raise fascinating questions about what sets the timing of development and whether it is possible to pause life.
