Funded Activity Summary

Stem cells can form many different cell types and show significant promise in cell therapies. New technologies allow the generation of stem cells from adult cell types such as skin cells, but these technologies are inefficient and typically introduce new genetic material to the cells. This project will develop new, more efficient approaches for producing stem cells potentially without the introduction of genetic material, thereby improving the use of these stem cells in therapies.
