| Scientists Make Neurons Directly From Human Skin, Bypassing Stem Cells Researchers have come up with a recipe for making functional neurons directly from human skin cells, including those taken from patients with Alzheimer's disease. The new method may offer a critical short cut for generating neurons for replacement therapies of the future, according to research published in the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication. | 07 Aug 2011 |
| Neuroscientists Identify How The Brain Remembers What Happens And When New York University neuroscientists have identified the parts of the brain we use to remember the timing of events within an episode. The study, which appears in the latest issue of the journal Science, enhances our understanding of how memories are processed and provides a potential roadmap for addressing memory-related afflictions. | 07 Aug 2011 |

| Shedding New Light On Prediction Of Spinal Disc Degeneration About 80% of the active population suffers from low back pain at some point in their lives. In a paper published in PLoS Computational Biology, researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) show that overloading on already degenerated discs is less damaging than on discs which are still healthy - and that changes in cell density in discs are fundamental to the process of disc degeneration. | 07 Aug 2011 |
