In the early half of the 1800s‚ T. Schwann and M.J. Schleiden introduced the cell theory; the theory that individual cells make up all tissues.1 However‚ due to the lack of staining techniques at the time‚ not much was known about nervous tissue and many scientists wondered if it even conformed to the same rules followed by all the other cells in the body. Two major theories were proposed regarding the nervous system: the reticular theory by Josef van Gerlach‚ and the neuron doctrine theory.1 Eventually

Protein Mediated Generation of Human Induced Pluripotent Cells for Maximum Efficiency Project ID: 3244K Abstract Inefficiency of IPS cell generation is a major obstacle in the development of IPS based technologies‚ such as their use in regenerative medicine. Current methods are limited to approximately 20% efficiency and often come with a trade off in safety. We propose a new technology that would increase the rate of IPS reprogramming to nearly 100%. This technology entails the usage of
