MIT researchers devise process to convert skin cell directly into neurons
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
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.
