- Title
Stem Cells: A new path to pluripotency.
- Abstract
The article reports on the results of a study by two groups of researchers headed by James Thompson at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Shinya Yamanaka at Kyoto University in Japan on methods to reprogram adult human cells to a pluripotent state. The cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells are genetically modified by the integration of up to four DNA-transcription factors into the adult cell genome. George Daley of Harvard Medical School in Boston and his colleagues also demonstrated that iPS cells could be generated from a wide variety of adult cells.
