Kim et al had previously shown than one factor reprogramming is possible, but in human foetal neural stem cells, a cell source perhaps not readily available. iPSCs were generated at an efficiency of roughly 1 colony in 250,000 target cells over an 8... 2010-12-13T19:06:00Z http://www.stemcells.com/details/news/889295/Phosphorylation_of_Sox2_Cooperates_in_Reprogramming_to_Pluripotent_Stem_Cells.html From the December Issue of Stem CellsBy Stuart P AtkinsonModifications of histone proteins have been well studied in ESCs and iPSCs and we are beginning to understand the importance that these modifications have in relation to chromatin structure and gene regulation and indeed the enzymes which mediate these modifications. However, research into modifications of non-histone proteins in pluripotent cells has perhaps lagged behind. Studies in 2009 Saxe et al, Swaney et al and Van Hoof et al) have... 2010-12-13T18:54:00Z http://www.stemcells.com/details/news/821157/STEM_CELLS_Position_Statement_on_hESC_Research.html Durham, North Carolina, August 27, 2010 — The Journal STEM CELLS® has published many important and exciting achievements in the field of stem cells during its twenty-eight year history. 2010-08-27T19:11:00Z http://www.stemcells.com/details/news/704939/AlphaMed_Press_awarded_CEO_Cancer_Gold_StandardTM_accreditation.html DURHAM, NC (May 21, 2010) – AlphaMed Press has received CEO Cancer Gold Standard™ accreditation, recognizing the organization’s commitment to taking concrete actions to reduce the cancer risk of its employees and their families through screenings, early detection, and healthy changes in lifestyle and in the workplace. 2010-05-28T16:24:00Z http://www.stemcells.com/details/news/396263/NEW_PRESS_RELEASE_Stem_Cells_Which_Fool_Immune_System_May_Provide_Vaccination_fo.html North Carolina, October, 2009 – Scientists from the United States and China have revealed the potential for human stem cells to provide a vaccination against colon cancer, reports a study published in STEM CELLS. 2009-10-12T15:14:00Z
