Caption: Pictured is a microscopic view of brain cells generated from induced pluripotent stem cells in the laboratory of University of Wisconsin-Madison neuroscientist Su-Chun Zhang. The induced cells, derived from reprogrammed skin cells, seem to have many of the all-purpose qualities of human embryonic stem cells, but a team led by Zhang, writing in the Feb. 15, 2010, edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reports the induced cells seem to differentiate less efficiently and faithfully than their embryonic counterparts.
