In the future, researchers hope that induced pluripotent cells may be used to treat other diseases.

Lister R, et al. observed significant resemblance in methylation levels between embryonic and induced pluripotent cells.

Nerve growth factors might also be used to induce nearby surviving cells to make new connections.

The researchers were studying a method of treating acute leukemia by introducing a substance that would induce cancerous cells to mature and eventually die.

How can viruses induce cells to enter the cycle of rapid multiplication that then leads on to the development of a tumour?

It might be possible to introduce an agent into the meshwork that induced cells to divide, he said, thus opening the drain.

The cytokines may induce neighboring cells to synthesize amyloid precursor protein.

The success of the technique, which involved inducing cells to produce more of the enzyme telomerase, suggests that adult life extension is feasible.

Induced pluripotent cells have been made from adult stomach, liver, skin cells and blood cells.

By inducing normally untreatable malignant cells into growth arrest, the patient would be able to survive in a chronic asymptomatic condition.
