New study links anxiety and PTSD to increased myelin in brain's gray matter

A recent study links anxiety behavior in rats, as well as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans, to increased myelin - a substance that expedites communication between neurons - in areas of the brain associated with emotions and memory.

Researchers explore novel strategy to improve the reprogramming efficiency of human fibroblasts

Not too long ago the idea of taking, for instance a skin cell and transforming it into a muscle cell was unthinkable. About 10 years ago, however, revolutionary research showed that it is indeed possible to reprogram differentiated adult cells into other types fully capable of conducting new functions.
