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

Effective models could unlock some of what is still unknown in biology and help your doctor find the right treatment.

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 ...

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 ...

Melbourne- based Cortical Labs showcased the CL1 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, describing it as a "body in a box" with the potential to transform AI and robotics. These neurons are then ...

Learn more about eLife assessments Sleep disturbances are associated with poor long-term memory (LTM) formation, yet the underlying cell types and neural circuits involved have not been fully decoded.

For decades, scientists have focused on amyloid plaques—abnormal clumps of misfolded proteins that accumulate between neurons ...

New brain-inspired hardware, architectures and algorithms could lead to more efficient, more capable forms of AI.

Melbourne-based start-up Cortical Labs has unveiled the world's first commercial biological computer made entirely of human ...

While a gradual loss in muscle strength is a natural part of aging, for many older adults it's more than just feeling a ...

An Australian startup has unveiled the world’s first commercial biological computer that runs on living human brain cells.Melbourne-based Cortical Labs launched the CL1 at Mobile World Congress in ...
