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.
This has been accomplished by the scientists at ADSCC's research laboratories in Abu Dhabi using their virus-free in-house, exclusive techniques, know-how and protocols.
Stem Cells have to be extracted from embryos or parts of the adult human body like the brain or bone marrow, which is challenging from both ethical and practical aspects. Thus, scientists are exploring techniques to convert ordinary cells, like skin or blood cells, into pluripotent stem cell
New knowledge about mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations has been obtained through the use of a high-throughput single-cell, single-mitochondrial genome sequencing technique known as iMiGseq. This technology also provides a platform for evaluating mtDNA editing techniques and genetically diag
Northwestern University-led researchers have created the first highly mature neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a feat that opens new opportunities for medical research and potential transplantation therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic injuries.
Researchers generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and cerebral organoids from the last male Malaysian Sumatran rhino, according to a study published in the journal iScience on October 20. As noted by the authors, the organoids could contribute to knowledge about the evolutionary p
Washington D.C. [USA], Jan 24 (ANI): In a breakthrough study on mice, researchers have used human stem cells to make pain-killing neurons, without side effects, in a single treatment.
