Prompting Fibroblasts To Become Neurons Offers Hope For Huntington's, Parkinson's And Alzheimer's Therapies
Repression of a single protein in ordinary fibroblasts is sufficient to directly convert the cells - abundantly found in connective tissues - into functional neurons. The findings, which could have far-reaching implications for the development of new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, will be published online in advance of the January 17 issue of the journal Cell. Sorry- I can't post a link or whole article, yet. |
