World-renowned stem cell scientists will gather in Kyoto, Japan for the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) ...

In 2006, Dr Shinya Yamanaka pioneered mouse iPSCs that used a four-factor protocol to derive human, horse, pig, cattle, rabbit, monkey, ape, big cats, rhino and even avian species iPSCs ...

The ISSCR International Symposium in Kyoto, Japan in October 2026 will highlight new research advances made possible through the discovery of iPSC technology.

Stem cell researcher Shinya Yamanaka, who actually made the discovery six years earlier, found that adult cells could be reprogrammed into stem cells by introducing four specific genes ...

More than 40 years later, Shinya Yamanaka discovered that four genes are capable of reprogramming an adult mouse cell into a cell in an embryonic stem cell-like state—called an induced pluripotent ...

The 2012 Nobel prize to Shinya Yamanaka demonstrated that it is possible to obtain stem cells from "differentiated" cells just by expressing four factors, including a Sox (Sox2) and a POU (Oct4 ...

The 2012 Nobel Prize-winning work by Shinya Yamanaka demonstrated that reprogramming differentiated cells into stem cells required four factors, including Sox2 and Oct4 (a POU gene). Building on ...
