Canadian researchers have developed a new method for generating stem cells from adult human tissue, a move they believe will bring the dream of personalized regenerative medicine a step closer to reality.
Scientists at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto describe a new reprogramming procedure to transform adult cells, such as those from a patch of skin, into stem cells.
"This new method of generating stem cells does not require embryos as starting points and could be used to generate cells from many adult tissues, such as a patient's own skin cells."
