Figure 1 Summary of the Chemical Conversion of Fibroblasts into Neurons Two different small-molecule cocktails convert fibroblasts into vGlut1+ or GABA+ neurons, neither one transiting cells through a neural progenitor state. Certain chemicals destabilize the fibroblast state while others seem to induce neurogenesis. (Image credit: Kristen Chen.)
