Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge believe they may have discovered a surprising new way to slow the spread of brain cancer. Instead of targeting cancer cells directly, their research suggests ...

(CNN) — For decades, a diagnosis of glioblastoma – an aggressive, hard-to-treat cancer in the brain – has been a death sentence for patients. Only 3% to 5% of people who are diagnosed with this type ...

It sounds like science fiction. Scientists take ordinary skin or blood cells, rewind them to a stem-cell state, then reprogram them into a kind of youthful immune cell. They then inject these into an ...
