One of the most amazing things to happen in biology in the last couple of years is cellular reprogramming. We learned how to ...

MIT 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 ...

Skin stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells present in the adult skin, which can self-renew and differentiate into different cell lineages of the skin. Skin stem cells are active during skin ...

Scientists are getting into the epidermis to explore how skin and nerve cells interact. “The skin is basically the window to the outside,” said Kathryn Albers, a neuroscientist at the University of ...
