Stories about: induced pluripotent stem cells

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Carry an Inactive X Chromosome Investigators at the UCLA have recently determined that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) apparently retain an inactive X chromosome even after they are reverted to a stem state from their adult form. This was recently made obvious as adult human skin cells were reprogrammed to become female iPSC. The research te... 9 September 2010 06:46 GMT Live Mouse Created from Reprogrammed Adult Skin Cells Finding sources of stem cells is not exactly easy in most countries, considering the fact that the best research can be conducted using embryonic cells, which are naturally derived from viable human embryos. This, obviously, raises some ethical questions, therefore experts have been searching for alternatives for a l... 24 July 2009 02:46 GMT
