In Vivo Lineage Reprogramming for CNS Repair: Refining the Toolbox - Benedikt Berninger Chair: Benedikt Berninger, PhD Institution: King's College London Co-Chair: Chun-Li Zhang, PhD Institution: University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Date & Time: Tuesday, November 15, 2022, 9:30am - 12pm Location: SDCC 6B Theme: [Theme A – Development] In vivo glia-to-neuron reprogramming is an emerging approach towards CNS repair. However, its biology and challenges at the molecular, cellular and circuit level need to be fully understood to advance it to a preclinical stage. This session will discuss the molecular mechanisms of glia-to-neuron conversion, the importance of tracing the origin of induced neurons, the potential of in vivo reprogramming as alternative to transplantation, and strategies of generating specific neuron types.
