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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

A new technique developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology helps convert skin cells into neurons without needing ...
