One promising strategy to remuscularize the injured heart is the direct cardiac reprogramming of heart fibroblast cells into cardiomyocytes. Researchers have identified TBX20 as the key missing ...

A new way of reprogramming our immune cells to shrink or kill off cancer cells has been shown to work in the otherwise hard to treat and devastating skin cancer, melanoma. The discovery demonstrates a ...

The capacity of an organism to regenerate depends on cell dedifferentiation followed by proliferation. Mammals, in general, have limited regenerative capacity. Now, a team of researchers at the Salk ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

Cellular reprogramming, when the identity and function of a cell changes, results in the cell acquiring embryonic stem cell pluripotency. This process requires gene expression patterns changes, ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...

Researchers from Monash University in Melbourne and The University of Western Australia have demonstrated how a reprogramming method imitates embryonic epigenetic reset. Transient naive treatment (TNT ...
