Directly converting skin cells to brain cells yields 1,000% success
In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells directly into brain cells extremely efficiently, without needing to go through the intermediate step of converting them to stem cells first.
Scientists Turn Skin Cells Directly Into Neurons Bypassing Stem Cells
One of the most amazing things to happen in biology in the last couple of years is cellular reprogramming. We learned how to convert one type of cell into another. In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka made a groundbreaking discovery that would win him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine just six years later: he found a new way to ‘reprogram’ adult,
Engineers turn skin cells directly into neurons for cell therapy
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 or diseases such as ALS.
MIT scientists convert skin cells into neurons, could transform brain, spinal cord repair
A new technique developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology helps convert skin cells into neurons without needing to transform them first into stem cells. As demonstrated in mouse cells, this method makes it easier and more efficient to produce large-scale quantities of neurons.
Neurons Generated from Skin Cells Without Stem Cell Step in Mice
A new process for converting skin cells to neurons directly could make it easier to develop therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.
Engineers Turn Skin Cells Directly Into Neurons
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” ste
MIT engineers turn skin cells directly into neurons for cell therapy

New Technique Converts Skin Cells into Motor Neurons
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 differentiated into a neuron.
