Paper in Cloning and Stem Cells shows that animal eggs do not support specific reprogramming toward the normal human embryonic state. Investigators at Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC) have found that ...

Researchers from Monash University in Melbourne and The University of Western Australia have demonstrated how a reprogramming method imitates embryonic epigenetic reset. Transient naive treatment (TNT ...

Chinese researchers have devised a new technique for reprogramming cells from human urine into immature brain cells that can form multiple types of functioning neurons and glial cells. The technique, ...

For decades, the idea of resetting the biological clock sounded more like speculative fiction than clinical strategy. The discovery of Yamanaka factors by Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka, which can ...
