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 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 ...

From the discovery of the Yamanaka factors to late-stage clinical trials, induced pluripotent stem cells have revolutionized biomedical science. For the first time, scientists reprogrammed cells from ...

Humans have around 30 trillion cells in our adult bodies. Amazingly, each of these cells came from a handful of about 100 ...

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 ...

Mineral casts of cancer cell surfaces reprogram fat cells into stem cells and improve insulin sensitivity in obese mice through purely mechanical cues. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cancer cells corrupt their ...
