This paper demonstrates that adult human mucosal olfactory ensheathing glia can be directly reprogrammed into neurons using NEUROD1, showing neuronal features and functionality in vivo.

This study demonstrates that human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells promote axon growth and restore neuronal activity in damaged rat-retina neurons through paracrine mechanisms involving neurotrophic factors.

This study identifies cis-regulatory elements controlling the spatio-temporal expression of the Drosophila ds gene, revealing stage-specific Ds protein isoforms involved in tissue morphogenesis.
