Bioinformatics researchers just moved closer to unlocking the mystery of how human cells switch from "proliferation mode" to "specialization mode." This computational biology work could lead to new ideas for curbing unwanted cell proliferation -- including some cancers. This research could also improve our understanding of how organs and other complex tissues develop.
