A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...

Peer-reviewed discovery platform and data in PNAS show that single transcription factor modulation reverses aging-associated gene expression and restores healthy cellular and tissue function in models ...

Jonas Salk quietly built the polio vaccine through rigorous, methodical work in Pittsburgh: treating patients, refining data, conducting massive trials, before unveiling results that altered the ...

CGTE researchers Dr. Stelios Andreadis, center director, and Dr. Kirk Personius are lead co-authors of a paper in the October 24th edition of Nature Communications. This study describes experiments ...
