Researchers at Keio University have begun using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) to treat and maybe even cure severe spinal cord injuries. The iPS technology was first conceived by Shinya Yamanaka in 2006, who later received the Nobel Prize with John Gurdon for discovering that they could reprogram adult cells to return to their pluripotent, stem cell-like state. However, having proven the iPS treatment safe, the researchers plan to execute much larger trials through K Pharma, a venture capital company established by Keio University.
