Trophy MIT engineers turn skin cells directly into neurons for cell therapy

Well, strictly speaking, this story shows if you have skin cells, they can be turned into stem cells and then neurons . . . I wonder if they can be turned into glial cells? I believe the brain image in the story is of a mouse brain. It is definitely not a human brain (don't try this at home!).
