Scientists directly convert human skin cells into cardiac and neural cells

[Plazma Inferno!]

Yesterday, I've posted about scientists from Spain who managed to create human sperm from skin cells. Now, Chinese scientists directly converted human skin cells into cardiac cells using only small molecules. Furthermore, the same group converted skin cells into neural cells using a similar small molecules strategy.
