Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...

A recent study by the Hector Institute for Translational Brain Research (HITBR) at the Central Institute of Mental Health ...

A single dose of psilocin can induce changes in human nerve cells, providing researchers with a better understanding of the ...

The ability to induce age-like features in PD-iPSC-derived dopamine nerve cells has yielded late-stage disease phenotypes not commonly observed in standard PD-iPSC models.

skin cells can be reprogrammed into iPSCs and from there transformed into brain cells (neurons). The researchers tested different forms of the tau protein by expressing them specifically in nerve ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can differentiate into a number ... which is characterised by the progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. Developing cellular disease models ...

Using human pluripotent stem cells, Dr. Navara’s research group makes human nerve cells from Parkinson’s patients ... Recently, he differentiated these iPSC lines into fully functional dopaminergic ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells -- which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities -- are mute, ...

A research team at the University of Cologne has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the role of the tau protein in Alzheimer's disease. Using human induced pluripotent stem cells ...

Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), the international team has been able to show that a specific form of the tau protein, known as the 1N4R isoform, is responsible for mediating ...
