Reprogrammed cells will soon become publicly available

The first human implantation of induced pluripotent stem cells reprogrammed into retinal cells took place in 2013. In case of a successful outcome of the tests, the use of IPSC will become an integral element of medicine.

Hidden risks of mitochondrial donation

While there are doubts about the safety of combining genomic DNA with arbitrary mitochondrial DNA, it is possible to select a donor with mtDNA of the same haplogroup as the recipient. British doctors are going to do just that.
