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 injuries ...

Researchers at MIT have devised a simplified process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron. The new method bypasses ...

In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells ...

Converting one type of cell to another - for example, a skin cell to a neuron - can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a "pluripotent" stem cell, then ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost ...

Researchers at MIT have now devised a simplified process that bypasses the stem cell stage, converting a skin cell directly into a neuron. Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a ...

Cannabis appears to aggravate already decreasing nerve connectivity in young adults at risk of psychosis, a new study has ...

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