New Reprogramming Method To Generate Stem Cells (Part-2)
Eggan’s team worked on the patients skin cells. They put them under four genetic factors found in the developing embryo. This process made cells to look and behave like embryonic stem cells. Such types of reprogramming techniques were also used earlier to create stem cells from skin cells. But in this new experiment the cells were generated from a patient body. These cells were given a name of IPS cells - Induced Pluripotent Stem cells. ...
