Team finds key to making neurons from stem cells
Medical Xpress “It is remarkable that when you take Pnky away, the stem cells produce many more neurons,” said Lim, an assistant professor of neurological surgery and director of restorative surgery at UCSF. “These findings suggest that Pnky, and perhaps lncRNAs in … |

Stem Cells Help Researchers Peg Rabies Resistance
Infection Control Today “Our study is the first to show pre-existing libraries of mutant stem cells can be differentiated into different cell types en mass and screened to identify meaningful genes involved in a cell’s response to infection,” Wallis says. “Moreover, this … |
