Cell therapies based on iPS technology may still be years away, but the elimination of viral vectors could substantially improve the usefulness of iPS cells as tools in drug discovery research ...

These cells are called induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells. Reprogramming Cells that are reprogrammed into stem cells from specialized cells are called induced pluripotent stem cells, iPS ...

The researchers, including Katsuhiko Hayashi, a reproductive biology professor at Osaka University, created cells that can turn into ova and sperm from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells taken ...

If iPS cell lines could be derived from donors' somatic cells with an efficiency and safety profile that was comparable to ES cell lines, an opportunity exists to establish more efficient HLA ...

Ten years have elapsed since the government gave its full policy support for the research field of regenerative medicine centered on iPS cells. In 2012, Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University was ...
