For the first time, UCLA researchers have reprogrammed human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into the cells that eventually become eggs and sperm, possibly opening the door for new treatments for infertility using patient-specific cells. The iPS cells were coaxed into forming germ-line precursor cells that include genetic material that may be passed on to a child. The study was published Jan. 26 in the early online edition of the peer-reviewed journal Stem Cells. (source: newsroom.ucla.edu)
