The field of partial reprogramming is transitioning from successful mouse studies to its first human clinical trials. At the heart of this experiment lies the discovery of Yamanaka ...

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 ...

A burgeoning field is launching its first clinical trial to find out whether dialling back cell development can safely ...

Researchers have defined a new genetic disease caused by a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. The condition marks a rare ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto 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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Unlike typical glaucoma treatments that slow progression, this approach aims to rejuvenate the retinal ganglion cells that die ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...

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 ...

Advances in iPSC technology and in vivo reprogramming are expanding the possibilities for cell therapy. Explore the science ...
