    process where mature cells revert to a primitive state

    Dedifferentiation is a biological process where specialized, mature cells revert to a more primitive, unspecialized state. This can occur in response to injury or stress and is significant in regenerative medicine and cancer research, as it can lead to tissue repair or, conversely, uncontrolled cell growth.
