Scientists recreate brain cells from skin cells to study schizophrenia safely

eurekalert.org — “A method for recreating a schizophrenic patient's brain cells has been developed, making it possible to study these cells safely and effectively in a Petri dish and bringing researchers a step closer to understanding the biological underpinnings of schizophrenia. The method eventually may be used for other mysterious diseases such as autism and bipolar disorder, and could open the door to customized treatments for individual sufferers of a disease based on genetic and cellular information.View full resource at eurekalert.org
