Study: Well-known protein helps stem cells become secretory cells
...ed in the May 15 issue of Development, the finding improves understanding of how cells become specialized for secretion, which is a critical ability of certain glands and cell types in organisms from insects to humans. The researchers discovered that a protein called CrebA single-handedly controls the entire...Combination therapy leads to partial recovery from spinal cord injury in rats
