Figure 1: In search of factors that induce haematopoietic stem cells. During embryonic development, HSCs arise from vascular cells that line the aorta, and the cells continue to require signals from ...

The ability to make person-specific pluripotent stem cells opens up many possibilities for research tools and perhaps even therapies. But most reprogramming techniques alter cells' genomes, making ...

Long-term memory of specific places is stored in the brain in so-called place cells. Neuroscientists have now 'reprogrammed' such place cells in free-roaming mice, by sending electrical impulses ...
