of cells for research or regenerative purposes.
Percent eosinophils was lower in these vaccinated animals (mean 1 — 3.2 %) than had been seen in animals given VLP vaccines in the earlier study (mean 13.2 ± 9.6 % and 22 ± 9.9 %

The logistics surrounding the gathering
of cells for any specific transplantation is partly down to luck and circumstance.
Umbilical cord blood (CB) is a relatively safe, easily collected, readily available and non-controversial source
of cells for regenerative medicine purposes.
Here we tested whether human NSCs could be reprogrammed into iPS cells utilizing a similar strategy as described above since they represent a more clinically relevant source
of cells for basic studies and modeling human disease.
In sum, human NSCs represent an invaluable source of cells to investigate human iPS induction, and also represent a potential source
of cells for deriving patient - specific pluripotent stem cells for modeling human disease.
This strategy takes advantage of the cells «somatic memory of origin» and novel reprogramming strategies to make these cells an effective and safe source
of cells for the treatment of cartilage defects and osteoarthritis.
We propose that human NSCs represent an attractive source
of cells for producing human iPS cells since they only require two factors, obviating the need for c - MYC, for induction into pluripotency.
In addition to providing an unlimited supply
of cells for implantation, the PEC - Direct approach has other potential advantages relative to cadaver islet transplants such as delivering a more consistent product preparation under quality - controlled cGMP conditions, and a more straightforward and safe mode of delivery.
Adult stem cells serve as a reservoir
of cells for repair of damaged tissue throughout the life of an individual, but the maintenance and regeneration of tissues, such as skin, liver, blood and muscle, dramatically decrease with age.
These two properties (self - renewal and pluripotency) confers human pluripotent stem cells a unique interest for clinical applications since they could allow the production of infinite quantities
of cells for disease modelling, drug screening and cell based therapy.
RPE cells derived from HESC show long - term viability in vivo, since in a previous study we have shown that HESC - derived RPE can survive in the RCS subretinal space for up to 10 weeks [9], whilst a recent study has indicated survival
of cells for up to 30 weeks [59].
In ensuing experiments, Dr. Ding hopes to rely only on microRNAs and pharmaceutical compounds to convert skin cells to brain cells, which should lead to more efficient generation
