Techniques and Methods for Altering Neurons
Author(s): Maryam Shaffati*
Because neurons are not very good at regenerating, trauma and
neurodegenerative illnesses of the Central Nervous System (CNS)
are challenging to treat. A traditional strategy for neuroregeneration
involves engrafting neural stem cells into the CNS. Despite
significant advancements, functional integration and overcoming
immune-rejection remain obstacles for stem cell therapy. In the
adult mammalian CNS, a new development known as neuronal
reprogramming transforms endogenous non-neuronal cells (such
as glial cells) into mature neurons... View More»
