Surgeons will inject approximately 5 million dopamine-producing progenitor cells into patients’ brains.

Stem cells and cancer cells have enough molecular similarities that the former can be used to trigger immunity against the latter.

Researchers use the technique to turn on Oct4 or Sox2 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and convert them into pluripotent cells. 

Michael Christman oversaw the organization’s well-known biobank and pioneered a personalized medicine initiative.

Combining gene editing and stem-cell induction improves efficiency of functional genetic analyses.

Simultaneous exposure to reprogramming and gene-editing plasmids efficiently produces edited pluripotent colonies.

Activating genes for reprogramming factors for a short time transforms large numbers of differentiated cells into multipotent forms that could be useful for cell-based therapies.

Neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells fill in for lost dopamine neurons in a primate model of the disease.

Is the deep uncertainty surrounding fundamental legal and ethical norms putting biobanks in a precarious position?
