In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells ...

About 20 years ago, scientists discovered that skin cells could be converted into pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which can ...

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 ...

“Broken skin barriers” are real. They’re the subject of great interest from " skinfluencers " on TikTok, but they’re also studied rigorously by dermatologists. “We love the skin barrier but in a very ...

Merkel cell carcinoma, also known as neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin, is a rare but aggressive type of skin cancer. It usually looks like a raised red or pinkish sore and can show up on your ...

These tiny bumps or pimples are dead skin cells plugging hair follicles. Keratosis pilaris can worsen in the winter months when the skin tends to dry out and may also worsen during pregnancy.

A new process for converting skin cells to neurons directly could make it easier to develop therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.
