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, ...

New research from scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) describes a process for converting skin cells directly into neurons that bypasses the induced pluripotent stem cell ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

Scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and other institutions have published details of a treatment that accelerates the production of female induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from ...
