Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, ...

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to ...

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 differentiated ...

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 ...

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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, ...
