Embryonic stem cells, in particular, are pluripotent, meaning they are able to become any other type of cell. And it is now possible to induce pluripotency in cells that have not come from embryos, thus circumventing the ethical minefield previously associated with obtaining them. Last year Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University won a Nobel prize for the invention of induced pluripotency. He had shown how four signal proteins can reprogram adult cells into a pluripotent state. Beside dealing with the ethical problems of embryonic cells, Dr Yamanaka's induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells allow--at least in theory--a treatment to be created from a patient's own body. This would have his own genetic make up and would thus not attract the attention of his immune system Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
