MSH: The reverse developmental process in which differentiated cells with specialized functions become undifferentiated PROGENITOR CELLS once again. Dedifferentiation and subsequent proliferation provide the basis for tissue regeneration and the formation of new stem cell lineages.,GO: The process in which a specialized cell loses the structural or functional features that characterize it in the mature organism, or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Under certain conditions, these cells can revert back to the features of the stem cells that were their ancestors. [GOC:dph, GOC:pg]
