Pediatricians and parents — and, really, anyone who works with children — have long known that a child’s social needs evolve with age. Yale researchers have now discovered the neurological signaling ...

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 ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...

New research from scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) describes a process for converting skin cells directly into neurons that bypasses the induced pluripotent stem cell ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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, ...
