Mountains in Banff: From theoretical stem cells to the real deal
Guest post by Paul Knoepfler, cross-posted on ipscell.com This morning I particularly enjoyed a talk by Sui Huang [ed note: this talk also discussed here] focused on the application of mathematics as a tool to understand cell behavior and fate. I love this stuff! I just wish I was better at math and physics so […]
Jailbreaking cell fate reprograms to multiple stem cell types says Nagy
Guest post by Paul Knoepfler, cross-posted on ipscell.com You can jailbreak your iPhone, but perhaps you can jailbreak a cell too to turn it into a stem cell. In his very cool talk up here at the Till & McCulloch Meeting on Stem Cells yesterday, Andras Nagy characterized the reprogramming process to make iPS cells as “jailbreaking” […]
Jacob Hanna on Radically Deterministic Reprogramming @TMM2013
Guest post by Paul Knoepfler, cross-posted on ipscell.com What is “radically deterministic” cellular reprogramming? Jacob Hanna’s lab recently published a very high profile Nature paper on nearly 100% efficient iPS cell formation based on targeting a factor called Mbd3. This super efficiency is a major departure from past reported efficiencies. This morning here at the […]
