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 ...

Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that ... Protein Netrin1 in Spinal Cord Development Nov. 14, 2024 ...

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 ...

If replicated in human cells, this approach could enable the generation of large quantities of motor neurons, which could potentially be used to treat patients with spinal cord injuries or ...

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 ...

Interestingly, we found that only a surprisingly small percentage of spinal cord motor neurons died during zebrafish early development, which is quite different from the generally believed massive ...
