September 15, 2022, Palo Alto, California – Koji Tanabe of I Peace, Inc. and a researcher Hiroko Nobuta of the University of California, San Francisco (currently assistant professor at Rutgers University) successfully achieved the direct reprogramming: the direct and rapid transformation of Dermal fibroblasts into Oligodendrocyte precursor cells by inducing four genes into the cells. This research was jointly conducted with Prof. Wernig at Sanford University and Prof. Rowitch at UCSF. The research was published in the online edition of an academic journal “Development” on June 24th. [Read more…]
