New Neurons From Skin Cells

New Neurons From Skin Cells,

Scientific Research?

A scientific research promising: they were created in the laboratory neurons brand-new originated from human epithelial cells ,

namely those of the skin .All this time, however, directly or without going through the transformation of stem cells in the second . It 'happened thanks to the work of researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine in California. The ultimate goal is obviously to get to create new neurons in patients with neuron-degenerative diseases.

 We talk for example Alzheimer's disease or any of those situations where there is a pathological destruction of neurons , which we know, can not heal themselves. The transformation of cells of the skin occurs in neurons in vitriol in only 4 or 5 weeks and for the moment will be used to study the same disease: so far, the ' observation cell of the brain occurred only after the patient had died, making it impossible to verify ' evolution and development of the disease live. Now this changes everything.
