MINNEAPOLIS, MN — October 20th, 2020 — New work published in the scientific journal Stem Cells by investigators from the Stem Cell Institute at the University of Minnesota describes a scientific breakthrough that could help accelerate development of new treatments for neurological conditions. Researchers from the laboratories of Drs. James R. Dutton and Ann M. Parr for the first time overcame a major “speed limit” in manufacturing human neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). (excerpt)
