As we age, we lose potential. The options for a child seem limitless but as adults, our careers, opinions and relationships are constrained by the choices we made. And as we become more specialised, ...

The past 10 years have seen great advances in our ability to manipulate cell fate, including the induction of pluripotency in vitro to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This process ...
