“Overall, our study provides a proof-of-principle that human glia can be reprogrammed to cells that are capable of making new neurons,” said Thomas Reh, PhD, University of Washington.

The reprogrammed cells then begin to divide and form precursors for new neurons,” said Simon Anders, PhD, project group leader at Heidelberg and one of the lead researchers on the study.

Researchers have used reprogrammed CAR T cells, usually used as a cancer treatment, to target the senescent cells that contribute to aging and later-life diseases. After one treatment, old mice ...

Scientists have created a more efficient and controlled way to produce lab-grown inner ear hair cells than current methods ...

The scientists utilized over-the-counter pregnancy tests to quickly evaluate their reprogrammed cells, as these cells produce various pregnancy hormones, including human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).

The researchers published a paper in the journal Science detailing the process by which they made the first genetically modified mammal with fully reprogrammed genes. The team took each chromosome ...
