mmmscience writes “Researchers at UCLA have accomplished a task that has long vexed stem cell researchers: They’ve created the first electronically active neurons from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. This is a great leap forward for stem cell researchers, who can apply these neurons to the study of neurodegenerative diseases.”
