MIT researchers devise process to convert skin cell directly into neurons, Top Health News | Latest Healthcare Sector & Healthcare Industry news, Information and Updates: ET HealthWorld : ETHealthworld.com

Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a highly efficient conversion method that can produce more than 10 neurons from a single skin cell. If replicated in human cells, this approach could generate large quantities of motor neurons, which could potentially be used to treat patients with spinal cord injuries or diseases that impair mobility., Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a highly efficient conversion method that can produce more than 10 neurons from a single skin cell.
