The Iraq war is going much better, and there’s no longer a need for embryonic stem cells. The liberals must be more depressed than usual.

iPS cell ping

Wow! We live in very, very interesting times!

The news just seems to get better and better about uses of these IPS cells!

And now, for the fine print:

To reduce the potential risk of tumor formation due to c-Myc transgene expression (13), iPS cells were infected with an adenovirus encoding Cre-recombinase to delete the lentivirus transduced c-Myc copies. One out of 10 iPS subclones (iPS #3.3) had deleted both transduced copies of c-Myc and was used for further experimentation (Fig. 2C).
