Japanese group make induced pluripotent stem cells from fibroblasts without oncogenes Saturday, 01 December 2007 The Japanese journal Yomiuri Shimbun report that Prof. Shinya Yamanaka from A Kyoto University now have produced induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, from skin cells of humans and mice without using cancer-causing oncogene c-Myc. The team, led by Prof. Shinya Yamanaka, says its research shows iPS cells produced by their new method are less likely to develop cancer-inducing properties. The group's paper will be published online Saturday by scientific journal Nature Biotechnology. Read more: Stem cell breakthrough made at Kyoto U.
