when historians for stem cell research writing chronicles, Yamanaka Nobuya (ShinyaYamanaka) is probably in a "peacemaker" role is recorded in the annals of history: a hitherto unknown way with the Japanese scientist, put an end to the ethical embryonic stem cell field battle (delay for a long time because of the need to obtain embryonic stem cells, often require the destruction of an embryo). In 2007, two research groups demonstrate, through gene recombination,http://www.fancytransport.com/Images/moncler-men-outlet-19.html http://www.fancytransport.com/Images/moncler-men-outlet-19.html, ordinary human skin cells can be returned to the stem cell state. One of the group leaders was Yamanaka Nobuya. Produced by the skin cells to stem cell known as induced pluripotent stem cells (inducedpluripotent stem cells, iPS cells).

46 year old Yamanaka Nobuya loves clean, like a soldier. In the forefront of medical research at Kyoto University in Japan, I saw his office: very shabby,http://www.aignerconstruction.com/images/_vti_log/gekiyasu-shop-t-66.html http://www.aignerconstruction.com/images/_vti_log/gekiyasu-shop-t-66.html, but surprisingly clean and tidy. Standing in the office, you find it difficult to master and the peoples of this room attention iPS cells together. However, maybe one day in the future, this office will be more than one to represent the scientific community the highest honor Nobel medal. Yamanaka Nobuya glanced at his office and said to me: "in office 10 meters below, there is a room I never entered, because without the government's permission, I have no right to enter. In that room, storage of a Japanese territory only a derived from human embryonic stem cell lines."
in name, the Japanese government to allow the use of embryonic stem cells, but the actual operation, human embryonic stem cells to acquire and use are subject to very strict limits. In order to be allowed to use embryonic stem cells, researchers have to spend a year's time, to handle all the formalities of application.

Although
in Japan, not only scientific atmosphere boring, bound researchers also subject to many rules. However, Yamanaka Nobuya accidentally become beneficiaries of the culture of science. Initially, he was a Osaka plastic surgeon. In twentieth Century 90 time metaphase, he decided to go to study in the United States Gladstone cardiovascular (GladstoneInstitute of CardiovascularDisease) to do postdoctoral, research the re encoding engaged in mice of cancer associated genes. There, Yamanaka Nobuya found that the United States is simply "heaven", not only easy to contact to the embryonic stem cell lines, and adequate funding, and many top scientists can exchange. While in Japan, he hit a brick wall. Yamanaka Nobuya recalled: "finished his postdoctoral research back to Japan, I lost all power. Capital poor, excellent scientists flexor >
