Brain juice and stem cells: Revisiting an ancient view of cerebrospinal fluid
Christopher Walsh, MD, PhD, is chief of Genetics and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator at Children’s Hospital Boston, where his research focuses on genes that regulate the development and function of the human cerebral cortex. Mutations in these genes are known to cause autism and epilepsy, as well as intellectual disabilities and other learning ...

Messenger RNA: A game-changing advance in regenerative medicine
A new way to reprogram ordinary human cells into stem cells, using RNAs, appears safer and much more efficient than current methods — and can much more readily transform stem cells into specialized cells to treat disease. We now know that scientists can take one of your cells, perhaps a skin cell, and transform it into ... Read More about Messenger RNA: A game-changing advance in regenerative medicine
