In this episode we welcome Dr. Jacob Hanna from Weizmann Institute of Science. Dr. Hanna’s group recently published in Nature describing a method for 100% reprogramming efficiency. We also do our usual Stem Cell Podcast roundup, which includes anti-acne bacteria, Eric Kandel’s RB-AB 48 Alzheimer’s target and others.

In this episode we start off with a quick general science news roundup before discussing two new papers in stem cell research. Both papers appeared in the journal Nature. The first describes a novel method of reprogramming somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells in vivo, and other describes a method to make a mini cerebral cortex from human embryonic stem cells. The senior author on the latter study, Dr. Juergen Knoblich, joins us to discuss this paper and its implications.
