Since 2006, research has succeeded in generating, from specialized adult cells, induced pluripotent cells (iPS cells), with huge potential applications, particularly for regenerative medicine. However, the process has still not been completely mastered. Now a molecule that may favor the production of these induced stem cells has been discovered by researchers.
