In brain and spinal cord tissue, SOD1 trimers bind with proteins that are involved in maintaining neuron structure, function and communication between nerve cells. The team also found that SOD1 ...

Converting one type of cell to another — for example, a skin cell to a neuron — can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a “pluripotent” stem cell, then ...

Washington DC: Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat ...
