A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A Nature Immunology study suggests PARP inhibitors can reprogram CD8 T cells into longer-lasting “superior memory” cancer fighters ...

Why pluripotent stem cells are worth the race The urgency around faster reprogramming is not just about lab convenience, it is about unlocking what pluripotent stem cells can actually do. Human ...

Researchers showed that an experimental therapy indirectly converted suppressive immune cells into tumor-fighting cells. This ...

A man who was fully paralyzed is now able to stand after receiving an injection of reprogrammed stem cells into his injured spinal cord. The result, announced by researchers in Japan, marks a rare and ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...

It is well known that students who prepare in advance perform better in exams. Now, it appears that the skin can do the same.
