iPS CELL INITIATIVE IN JAPAN. “In 2012 Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka won the Nobel Prize for pioneering induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), technology he used to turn cultured skin and other cells into iPSCs. Scientists can now take primitive human cells and develop these into any type of cell in the body, even sperm. They’re an ideal source of cells for the ‘disease-in-a-dish’ study of diseases affecting inaccessible tissues, such as the eyes and brain.””
