Summary:

A new study by Harvard Stem Cell Institute co-director Doug Melton and colleagues published in today's issue of the journal Nature helps to explain the variation both in organ regenerative capacity and in organ size determination as well. The findings also underscore the value of embryonic stem cells as tools to study normal development.
