The power of teamwork in tackling complex scientific challenges: 👉 unlocking secrets of converting glial cells to neurons, paving the way for future neurological treatments. #Neuroscience #Breakthrough
Key Mechanisms Identified for Neuron #Regeneration 🧠 Neurological disorders, such as #trauma, #stroke, #epilepsy, and various #NeurodegenerativeDiseases, often lead to the permanent loss of #neurons, causing significant impairments in #brain function. Current treatment options are limited, primarily due to the challenge of replacing lost neurons. 👩🔬 Prof. Magdalena Götz and Boyan Bonev, with their teams, now reveal how #GlialCells are reprogrammed into #neurons via epigenetic modifications. 🧬 “The protein Ying Yang 1 is crucial for achieving the conversion from astrocytes to neurons. These findings are important to understand and improve reprogramming of glial cells to neurons, and thus brings us closer to therapeutic solutions.” Prof. Magdalena Götz Learn more about the breakthrough findings: 👉 https://lnkd.in/d9hVurgP Helmholtz Pioneer Campus @ Helmholtz Munich Munich Cluster for Systems Neurology (SyNergy) Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München #HelmholtzMunich #Neuroscience #RegenerativeMedicine #Epigenetics #Research #Therapy #SyNergy #StemCell #NatureNeuroscience
