Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Cyclic induction of the Yamanaka reprogramming factors for four weeks before stroke reduced ischemic brain damage, preserved ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated how astroglia—cells that support the functioning of the brain—can be reprogrammed into cells resembling interneurons. The research, published in Science ...

The Promise of Partial Cellular Reprogramming For twenty years, researchers have known how to reset a cell’s internal clock ...

A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...

When a neuron ages, it loses synaptic connections with other neurons, it is less able to transmit nerve impulses, and its metabolism is also altered. This process of neuronal ageing — inevitable with ...

In a bioluminescent mouse model of late-stage Trypanosoma brucei infection, the brain shifts from glucose to fatty acid and lipid metabolism while learning, memory and anxiety-like behaviour remain ...
