Researchers used "dancing molecules" to advance the age of human neurons beyond what was previously possible.

Northwestern University-led researchers have created the first highly mature neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) a feat that opens new opportunities for medical research and potential transplantation therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic injuries.

Scientists prove it is possible to turn stem cells into neurons, a discovery that could allow damaged or lost brain cells to be replaced

Researchers have created the first mature neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells, offering potential for new neurodegenerative disease therapies.

Mini brains grown in a lab from stem cells spontaneously developed rudimentary eye structures, scientists reported in a fascinating 2021 paper.

Understanding how eyes develop can help researchers pinpoint how to treat early retinal diseases

In order to treat patients with diabetes in the best possible way it is necessary to understand the disease mechanism. MODY type 3 (MODY3) is a monogenic hereditary form of diabetes, that is caused by a genetic defect in the HNF1A gene.

Researchers developed a gene therapy that could save mice from heart attacks. The mechanisms by which damaged hearts in zebrafish are repaired were combined with viral vectors used in human gene therapy to one day treat patients suffering from heart diseases.
