Nobel Winner Shinya Yamanaka: Cell Therapy Is ‘Very Promising’ For Cancer, Parkinson’s, More

Forbes—The world woke up 17 years ago to an astounding scientific breakthrough: a team of Japanese scientists led by Shinya Yamanaka—now an investigator at Gladstone—had reprogrammed skin cells to resemble an embryonic state. In this interview, Yamanaka shares fascinating insights about the backstory of his work and the doors it is starting to open for patients today.

Connecting the Dots: From Stem Cells to Human Health

Since Shinya Yamanaka discovered a method to create human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, Gladstone researchers have built on this technology to create numerous iPS cell lines, coax iPS cells into a myriad of tissue types, use them as a tool to study disease, and even begin creating therapies using these cells.
