NYSCF Innovator Dissects Stem Cell-to-Neuron Reprogramming
NewsNYSCF – Robertson Stem Cell Investigator Alumnus and 2014 NYSCF – Robertson Stem Cell Prize recipient Dr. Marius Wernig, Stanford University, published his latest research dissecting the steps through which mouse cells go through during reprogramming from stem cells into neurons.
The research, published in Nature, scrutinizes the stages through which individual cells progress during the reprogramming process. Understanding the specific path cells take during differentiation is critical to developing successful future cell replacement therapies and treatments.
