A couple of years ago, the Lasker Prize was awarded to the scientist Shinya Yamanaka for his research in which he took an adult skin cell, a fibroblast, and by manipulating just four genes, he induced that cell to revert to a pluripotential stem cell -- a cell potentially capable of becoming any cell in your body.
Prije par godina, nagrada Lasker je bila dodjeljena znanstveniku Shinya-u Yamanaka-u za njegov istaživački rad u kojem je uzeo zrelu kožnu stanicu, fibroblast, i putem manipulacije samo četiri gena, inducirao stanicu da se vrati u pluripotentnu matičnu stanicu -- stanica koja ima potencijal postati bilo koja stanica u vašem tijelu.
