Scientists who reprogrammed skin cells into brain cells say their
research could lay the groundwork for new ways to treat Alzheimer's and
other brain diseases.
The team at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco transferred a
gene called Sox2 into both mouse and human skin cells. Within days, the
skin cells transformed into early-stage brain stem cells called induced
neural stem cells.
These cells began to self-renew and soon matured into neurons capable
of transmitting electrical signals. Within a month, these new neurons
had developed into neural networks, according to the research published
online June 7 in the journal Cell Stem Cell.
