Do you wonder why the stem cell dispute that was supposed to propel Democrats into the White House is now a non issue? Credit the Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells that can be made from normal skin cells. After this astonishing breakthrough was announced, some among “the scientists” . . . . Continue Reading »
Good news on a Saturday morning: A new paper is out touting more advances in understanding the mechanisms of IPSCs. It is written in pure scienceze and is way over my head. But a scientist friend of mine translated it and it appears that the paper’s authors have discovered that two potential . . . . Continue Reading »
As I alluded to earlier this week, research into ISPCs are advancing in the animal models. From the story: Stem cells are considered a potential magic bullet cure for a host of diseases because they can be transformed into nearly any cell in the body and used to help replace damaged or diseased . . . .

ULCA is the latest research center to successfully create induced pluripotent stem cells. From the story: Researchers at UCLA have become the first in the state to successfully create skin cells that can be used to treat a number of fatal or debilitating conditions without the use of human embryos . . . .

Korean scientists have created pluripotent stem cells from normal skin cells and have further improved the technique. From the story: Park said the overall process of making the stem cells is similar to those by U.S. and Japanese scientists, there has been a marked improvement in the success rate. . . . .
