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
