A Lancet study has highlighted lasting vision improvements in four patients with damaged corneas using reprogrammed stem-cell ...
In a medical breakthrough, three people with severely impaired vision who received stem-cell transplants two years ago have ...
Kohji Nishida, an ophthalmologist at Osaka University in Japan, and his colleagues used an alternative source of cells — ...
How are induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells different from embryonic stem (ES) cells? What can we use iPS cells for? ES cells were originally derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) or epiblast of ...
The researchers, including Katsuhiko Hayashi, a reproductive biology professor at Osaka University, created cells that can turn into ova and sperm from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells taken ...
The hot cell - a shielded facility where initial processing of Lu-177 produced in Bruce Power’s unit 7 using the proprietary ...
iPS cells are used to develop all kinds of human tissue, but the process until now has required a hands-on approach in targeting tissue and organs for treatment and other purposes. As miniscule ...
These cells are called induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells. Reprogramming Cells that are reprogrammed into stem cells from specialized cells are called induced pluripotent stem cells, iPS ...

iPS cells are being used to treat eye diseases to address donor shortages. We explore advancements made in Japan, such as the transplantation of iPS cell-derived corneal cells and retinal sheets.
This research group has developed a robot/AI system that automatically performs trial-and-error to examine the optimum conditions for culturing iPS cells, and has ...
For a recent study published in Cell Transplantation, a team of researchers created a minipig type 1 diabetes model for testing new therapies based on iPS cell-derived pancreatic islets.
