Using different combinations of transcription factors, researchers create a diverse array of neurons from mouse skin cells.

Researchers created a nanofibrous scaffold to see how it supports cell growth.

With a diameter smaller than 100 nanometers, this nanopipette’s indiscernible tip is tiny enough to suck up minute contents of a single cell. 

Researchers use the CRISPR/Cas system to express three transcription-factor genes, changing the identities of mouse cells.

Fibroblasts help tumors metastasize by paving a “migration highway” through the extracellular matrix, scientists report.

The authors of a 2008 Nature paper have retracted it after new data watered down the conclusions.

New PLOS data sharing rules; mouse cortical connectome published; reprogramming astrocytes into neurons and fibroblasts into hepatocytes

In the long-fought battle against baldness, researchers are finally identifying molecular pathways that can be manipulated to generate new hair follicles.
