WHAT’S NEW IN STEM CELL RESEARCH OR IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A NEW ORGANISM FROM SKIN CELLS?

Abstract: The annual ceremony of the Nobel Prizes awarding, which traditionally takes place on December 10 — the day when Swedish entrepreneur, inventor and philanthropist, the founder of Nobel Foundation Alfred Bernhard Nobel (1833–1896) passed away, usually attracts a lot of attention — of scientific community but also of general publics. This happens because the Nobel Prize is by all means the doubtless recognition of the Prize winner’s contribution into the world science. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012 was awarded «for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotetnt».
Keywords: stem cells, pluripotency, iPS-cells, Nobel Prize.
