work after Prof. Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University, who won the 2010 Kyoto Prize for advanced technology, made known his successes with
iPS cells in 2007: «Once Yamanaka solved the problem, I turned around virtually my entire programme to take advantage of that breakthrough,» he says.
In 2005, before a Congressional hearing in the U.S., Prof. George Q. Daley of Harvard spoke forcefully and influentially about the necessity for embryonic stem -

iPS», i.e. stem
cells reprogrammed from some
cells of a living adult).

In order to determine that the transformations
work properly and the
cells are safe for therapeutic use, researchers need to compare the
iPS cells to ES
cells, which means destroying embryos.
Taking this
work a step further, in 2008, they were the first to show that skin
cells could be reprogrammed into stem
cells (becoming induced pluripotent stem
cells, or
iPS cells), then differentiated into specific dopamine neurons.

iPS breakthrough by introducing four factors into adult
cells, we're now

cells into stem
cells — such as with chemical compounds.

cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (
