Stem cells must support tissue renewal without losing control of growth. Nestor Oviedo investigates the mechanisms regulating stem-cell behavior to understand regeneration, adult tissue maintenance, and malignant transformation. His research interests include planarian biology, tissue repair, and cancer, connecting developmental processes with the maintenance of an adult organism. Related questions span DNA damage and host-pathogen interactions. The work offers a research match for people interested in how cellular decisions balance repair and renewal with the risk of abnormal growth.
