Human Stem Cell Line Made Containing Sickle Cell Anemia Mutation

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