National Institutes of Health-funded scientists have developed a 3D micro-scaffold technology that promotes reprogramming of stem cells into neurons, and supports growth of neuronal connections ...
A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...
Aside from reprogramming and transdifferentiation, the longer-existing approach to generating neurons and NSCs has been differentiating them from pluripotent cells, initially from embryonic stem cells ...
A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.
Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...
Figure 1: Immunomodulatory effects of simulated MSCs. MSCs utilize different molecular mechanisms to suppress (in most cases) or activate immune cells. Orange arrows: inhibition; Green arrows: ...

MIT scientists convert skin cells into neurons, could transform brain, spinal cord repair
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, ...
