June 01, 2009
Scientists say they've found a way to transform skin cells into stem cells, an advance that could accelerate the field of regenerative medicine. In their new experiments, researchers used four introduced genes to reprogram skin cells to become indistinguishable from stem cells. The scientists say this discovery could solve the problem of rejection by the immune system, since this type of stem cell would be made from the patient's own skin cells. The investigators' results were so promising that ...
