Mouse-tail cells converted into brain cells at Stanford
Skin cells from the tails of mice were turned into neurons able to form connections crucial to brain function, a study said. The Stanford University scientists who performed the feat said it should work with human tissue.
Wow. Can you believe it? They took skin cells from a mouse's tail and turned it into Mouse brains. But really, what's the big deal? Humans have been taking their brain cells and turning them into butt cells for generations.
