Winning Science
The 2012 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was won by Gurdon and Yamanaka, for their work on adult stem cells.
This Catalyst article explains how they discovered that a nucleus from an egg cell transplanted into a specialised cell can still develop into a fully functional organism. Yamanaka named these cells induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). This process is allowing new ways of studying disease mechanisms.
The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2012, Volume 23, Issue 2.
Catalyst is a science magazine for students aged 14-19 years. Annual subscriptions to print copies of the magazine can be purchased from Mindsets.
