In a feat of biological wizardry, one type of differentiated cell has been directly converted into another, completely distinct type. Notably, the approach does not require a stem-cell intermediate ...

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, ...

The capacity of an organism to regenerate depends on cell dedifferentiation followed by proliferation. Mammals, in general, have limited regenerative capacity. Now, a team of researchers at the Salk ...

It is well known that adding a mixture of four reprogramming molecules (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc) also known as “Yamanaka factors” to cells can reset epigenetic marks to their original patterns.

The company is making a foray into scientific discovery with an AI built to help manufacture stem cells. When you think of AI’s contributions to science, you probably think of AlphaFold, the Google ...

Personalized disease treatment, tailored to an individual’s genetic background, is the future of medicine. Stem cells hold the promise of that objective becoming a reality. A decade ago, the discovery ...
