Fish-like Genetic Program Used to Turn Human Retinal Cells Into Neurons
New research by Thomas Reh, Juliette Wohlschlegel, and colleagues at the University of Washington, USA, published in the journal Stem Cell Reports, shows that human Muller glia can be coaxed into changing identity in the laboratory, which could serve as a potential source of new neurons to treat vision loss.
Exploring the Breadth of Stem Cell Science
It is a thrilling time for stem cell science. We have just seen FDA approval of two gene therapies for sickle cell disease and embryo models have been named the method of the year by Nature. As the field pushes forward with new achievements, the society is keeping pace with those advances, designing scientific programming to showcase new discoveries in stem cell research.
