Reversibility, regulation, and the community of development: the legacy of Sir John B. Gurdon
2025
Overview
John B. Gurdon approached biology with characteristic clarity and patience, asking not only what happens in development, but how much of a molecule is present, and for how long. His nuclear-transfer experiments revealed that cellular identity is not fixed but can be reset, reshaping both biology and medicine. Through studies of oocytes, translational control, and the community effect, he showed that stability in living systems arises from persistence and interaction. His influence reached far beyond the bench: through generosity and curiosity, he nurtured a community of scientists who, like their mentor, enjoy asking how a cell knows what to be.
