DNA damage report makes no therapeutic bets
“Our report was based on data from rat and human 30-minute memory test,” said Andrew Knautz, PhD, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology who led the research.
Knautz, a member of the Bragg Scholars and director of the UNC Center for DNA and RNA Science and Technology, said he hopes to use the brain test’s insight into human pluripotency to test other forms of pluripotency.
The study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
