Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

In reading, a bookmark tells where you stopped. Cells use bookmarks too, specific proteins that help the cell remember what collection of genes needs to be turned on again after the brief halt of gene ...

Izzie Clarke: Hello and welcome to this Nature Custom Media podcast, supported by the Sigma-Aldrich® brand from Merck. I’m science journalist Izzie Clarke and in this episode, I explore how scientists ...

The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a form of stem cell therapy that "reverses" paralysis. Though the treatment has only seen a 50% success rate so far, two of the four people who received it have ...

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 ...

At ISSCR Lonza recently introduced its new L7™ hiPSC Reprogramming and hPSC Culture System for basic stem-cell research, disease modeling, drug development and regenerative medicine. The L7™ System ...

Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found a new approach to the "reprogramming" of ordinary adult cells into stem cells. In a study published today in an Advance Online paper in ...

Life begins with a tiny orchestra of stem cells, setting the stage for the body’s grand symphony of development. As the performance unfolds, a dynamic interplay of factors takes center stage, ...
