Johns Hopkins Researchers Develop Safer Way To Make Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Stem Cell Research News From Medical News Today, Article Date: 01 Feb 2011 - 4:00 PST

Researchers at Johns Hopkins have found a better way to create induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells-adult cells reprogrammed with the properties of embryonic stem cells-from a small blood sample.
