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 ...

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

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

“We were able to get to yields where we could ask questions about whether these cells can be viable candidates for the cell ...

Challenging the long-standing belief that fibroblasts produce skin collagen, researchers have investigated collagen formation in the 'glass-skinned' amphibian axolotl and other vertebrates. They ...

MIT 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 ...

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 ...

One of the ways diabetes can affect the body is by overstimulating the sweat glands. Because of this, it's harder to maintain a steady internal body temperature. Extreme fluctuations in blood sugar ...

Gene Hackman's wife, Betsy Arakawa, died of hantavirus. What is it? What are the symptoms? Are there any cases of Georgia?

Hantavirus comes from contact with rodents, especially after exposure to their urine, droppings and saliva. Read about how ...
