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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

A new technique developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology helps convert skin cells into neurons without needing ...

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.

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 vector was administered into the cerebral ventricular ... Restoring the β1 subunit also reinstated Scn1a expression, improving cortical neuron excitability. However, despite the significant ...
