A research group led by Dr. Haruhisa Inoue, a professor at the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA), Kyoto University, and a researcher Dr. Takayuki Kondo of CiRA discovered that the transplantation of human iPS cell-derived glial-rich neural progenitor cells into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) model mice extended their lifespans.   It is […]

A Kyoto University research team led by CiRA lecturer Kazutoshi Takahashi, former CiRA researcher Koji Tanabe and CiRA Professor Shinya Yamanaka has established that, in the process of reprogramming, human somatic cells pass through a state similar to that of primitive-streak cells.   In mammalian embryonic development, it is known that epiblasts pass through a […]

The Kyoto University Center for iPS cell Research and Application (CiRA) organizes an international symposium annually, to promote the worldwide dissemination of its research results and to advance iPS cell research. In the 2013 symposium, we plan to hold not only lectures but poster sessions to increase opportunities for discussion among participants. All stem cell […]
