For the past couple years, there's been a steady march toward making adult cells mimic embryonic stem cells. The leap from mouse cells to human cells can often be a tricky one, but scientists managed the feat in human cells just months ...
Last month, Shinya Yamanaka at Kyoto University showed he could transform adult skin cells into cells akin to human embryonic stem cells. Linda Geddes visited Yamanaka in Kyoto and found him excited at his breakthrough but concerned over its ethical implications. How ...

NOVEMBER was an astonishing month for embryonic stem cell research. First, Shoukhrat Mitalipov at the Oregon National Primate Research Center reported producing cloned embryonic stem cells from a rhesus macaque monkey - the first from an adult primate. Using viruses to introduce ...
It is stem cell research's ultimate prize - stem cells made from an individual's own cells without the need for a donated egg or embryo. Last year, Shinya Yamanaka and his colleagues at Kyoto University in Japan claimed to have produced ESC-like ...
It offers the possibility of a personalised supply of all kinds of tissue types, without cloning, donated eggs or the destruction of embryos. If the latest breakthrough in stem cell technology in mice is repeated in humans - and New Scientist has ...
