Identification of juvenility-associated genes in the mouse hepatocytes and cardiomyocytes

Abstract Young individuals possess distinct properties that adults do not. The juvenile animals show higher activities for growth, healing, learning and plasticity than adults. The machinery for establishing these juvenile properties is not fully understood. To better understand the molecular consti...
