Scientists report a new and highly efficient, improved procedure for the reprogramming of adult human somatic cells into iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells.

Now that it is possible to create pluripotent stem cells without the need for embryos, stem cell research labs are springing up by the hundreds – despite the fact that one critical problem still remains.

The politics of stem cells are reviewed within the context of the current U.S. presidential election.

European researchers have coaxed testicular sperm-producing cells into new cells that behave like embryonic stem cells.
