Induced Neural Stem Cells: Not Quite Ready for Prime Time
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0215174204.htm ScienceDaily (Feb. 15, 2010) — The great promise of induced pluripotent stem cells is that the all-purpose cells seem capable of performing all the same tricks as embryonic stem cells, but without the controversy. Mouse Skin Cells Changed Directly into Nerve Cells NIH, February 12, 2010 http://www.nih.gov/researchmatters/f...010neurons.htm A trio of genes added to mouse skin cells can transform them directly into functioning nerve cells, a new study reports. With further research, this basic technique may lead to treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders.
