Patient-Specific Stem Cells Made More Easily?

A Michigan State University research team uncovered the function of an already characterized gene that could be linchpin in the derivation of patient-specific stem cells that might be able to save millions of lives by differentiating into practically any cell in the body.

The gene is known as ASF1A, and even though it was not discovered by the team, ASF1A is one of the genes responsible for the…
