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

A new process for converting skin cells to neurons directly could make it easier to develop therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.

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 ...

One of the most amazing things to happen in biology in the last couple of years is cellular reprogramming. We learned how to ...

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 ...
