She ends the session on
stem cells by describing the path to using stem cells in clinical trials.
In a scientific first, researchers at the Gladstone Institutes turned skin cells from mice into
stem cells by activating a specific gene in the cells using CRISPR technology.
mRNA expression from the targeted allele could be detected in embryonic
stem cells by RT - PCR (Figure 1D), although expression was reduced approximately 5-fold relative to wt mRNA transcript levels as determined by Northern blotting of RNA from the testis of heterozygous animals (Figure 1E).

Human embryonic stem cells derived from affected embryos during a pre-implantation diagnostic (PGD), as well as the conversion of somatic cells, such as skin fibroblasts, into induced pluripotent
stem cells by genetic manipulation, offer the unique opportunity to have access to a large spectrum of disease - specific cell models.
