(Sacramento, CA)—For the first time, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) have been transformed into specialized bladder cells. A research team at the UC Davis Medical Center’s Institute for Regenerative Medicine reports the successful re-programming of iPS cells derived from human skin ells and umbilical blood cells. The research has significant implications for the treatment of diseased or cancerous bladders. The research team was led by Dr. Eric Kurzrock at the UC Davis Institute for Regenerative Cures.
