Cellular Reprogramming Rejuvenates Old Mice and Boosts Lifespans 30%

Using a process designed to “reprogram” normal adult cells into pluripotent stem cells researchers have managed to boost the life spans of mice by up to 30% and rejuvenate some of their tissues.

Scientists turn skin cells into neural precursors, bypassing stem-cell stage

Mouse skin cells can be converted directly into cells that become the three main parts of the nervous system, according to researchers at the Stanford

A change of heart: researchers reprogram brain cells to become heart cells

Researchers are the first to demonstrate the direct conversion of a non-heart cell type into a heart cell by RNA transfer.
