Researchers Devise A New Way to Make Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Edward Morrisey, PhD, Scientific Director at the Penn Institute for Regenerative Medicine, discusses a totally new and far more efficient way of generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The researchers used fibroblast cells which are easily obtained from skin biopsies and could be used to generate patient specific iPSCs for drug screening and tissue regeneration. Dr. Morrisey led the study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell. View the full news release to learn more: www.uphs.upenn.edu
