Neuronal Reprogramming for Brain Repair: Challenges and Perspectives.

Neuronal Reprogramming for Brain Repair: Challenges and Perspectives. Trends Mol Med. 2020 Sep 14;: Authors: Bocchi R, Götz M Abstract Brain injuries and neurodegenerative diseases elicit neuronal loss that persists because the adult mammalian brain lacks robust regenerative abilities. Direct reprogramming of local glial cells into neurons is a promising strategy for neuronal replacement in vivo. We discuss recent advances and future challenges in this approach to brain repair.
