in Biology & Nature
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have established a human cell-based system for studying sickle cell anaemia by reprogramming somatic cells to an embryonic stem cell like state. Publishing online in Stem Cells on 29 May, the team describes a faster and more efficient method of reprogramming cells that might speed the development of stem cell therapies...
