A lot of us have a short time horizon.<br /><br />From skin cells to motor neurons <br /><br />The work by Eggan, a member of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute principal faculty and an associate professor in Harvard’s Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology (SCRB), and his colleagues builds on and advances work by SCRB co-chair and Professor Doug Melton, who pioneered direct cellular reprogramming, and Marius Wernig of Stanford, who used direct reprogramming to produce generalized neurons.<br />In a paper given “Immediate Early Publication” online by Cell Stem Cell, the Eggan team reports that the cells they are calling iMNs appear to be fully functional. “One of the most important things we’ve done is show that when you put them into the embryo they function normally like motor neurons,” Eggan said in an interview. “They move to the right place and function on their own.”<br />When placed in the spinal cord of a chicken embryo, the iMNs settle into the cord and send out their projections to connect with muscles. “That’s a unique thing,” Eggan said. “We showed [that] they have contact with muscle cells and make synapses with them.”<br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-08-skin-cells-motor-neurons.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
