MIT researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord ...

By successfully modifying seven genes simultaneously, genetic engineering company Colossal Biosciences created mice with ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

This valuable study characterises the activity of motor units from two of the three anatomical subdivisions ("heads") of the triceps muscle while mice walked on a treadmill at various speeds. Although ...

Viral vectors expressing proneural genes can stimulate adult mammalian retinal glia to become immature neurons. These glia-derived neurons share properties with the bipolar, amacrine and retinal ...
