Researchers Develop Virus-free And Oncogene-free Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Reprogramming

[Joxy]

Researchers with Iowa-based Cellular Engineering Technologies (CET), the John Paul II Medical Research Institute (JP2MRI) and the University of Iowa published research in late 2018 describing a safer and ethical method of creating pluripotent stem cells from cord blood and peripheral blood. It was published in the November 29 issue of the journal Regenerative Medicine.

Cool, but all of these companies already have their mind set on how they’ll proceed w their product. I highly doubt any of them will adopt these recent stem cell studies

This research (if it is true and not faked results) will be very important for next generation scientists, because they will have iPSCs cells without cancer and virus genes and clinical trials will move much faster.

These have very little to do with this subforum, but I applaud you for finding them.
I don't think that their approach is novel. Researchers have also cultivated Myc-free iPS cells in the past, if my memory is right.

My opinion is that safe and ethnical iPSCs will open many possibilities for hairloss scientists. And clinical trials will move much faster in future, because they will be in general safe. Dozens of hairloss scientists are experimenting with iPSCs and every novel approach will help them to speed up their method.
