Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries ...

A new process for converting skin cells to neurons directly could make it easier to develop therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.

Converting one type of cell to another - for example, a skin cell to a neuron - can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a "pluripotent" stem cell, then ...

However, sometimes a vector representation (e.g. polylines ... In this demo we present a parallelizable divide-and-conquer based algorithm for skeleton tracing, which converts binary images into a set ...
