WUSTL researchers have converted skin cells into motor neurons without going through the stem cell state. The new technique could help in the development of devastating neurodegenerative diseases, like ALS, that affect motor neurons.
A new study reports microRNAs could be under-expressed in the brains of schizophrenia patients.
Researchers describe a new way to convert human skin cells into specific brain cells which are affected by Huntington's, which bypasses the stem cell phase.
A recent study provides new understanding of the role Lin28a plays in forming neurons. The findings could help develop new treatments for brain cancer and other neurological disorders.
Researchers show how two molecules regulate a gene implicated in speech and language impairments, as well as ASD.
