Agining Differences in Induced Neurons

Caption

This image shows differences between neurons from old and young people only when they directly convert skin cells (left panel) into so-called induced neurons (iN; right panel). Aging differences are erased, however, when cells transit the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) state.
