Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

A novel gene therapy that leads to cellular rejuvenation could restore vision after non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and glaucoma. The technique is based on a reprogramming ...

A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

For those hoping to cure death, and they are legion, a 2016 experiment at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego has become liminal — the moment that changed everything. The experiment ...

ER-300 improves key biomarkers of liver health in an animal model of MASH These data, along with additional ER-100 preclinical data from a nonhuman primate model of NAION demonstrating clear ...

Scientists reverse eye cell aging with ER-100 gene therapy that reprograms retinal neurons to younger states, offering hope ...
