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 ...

Belarusian method of delivering stem cells recognised as effective for brain lesions. Stem cells barely reach the brain through the blood, but Belarusian scientists and doctors have taken advantage of ...

A new technique developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology helps convert skin cells into neurons without needing to transform them first into stem cells. As demonstrated in mouse cells, ...

New research from scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) describes a process for converting skin cells directly into neurons that bypasses the induced pluripotent stem cell ...
