DESCRIPTION:Helen Blau PhD\, Microbiology and Immunology\, Stanford\nWe ar
 e exploiting natural mechanisms to derive mammalian cell sources for regen
 erative medicine: (1) by recapitulating pathways used by newts and zebrafi
 sh\, (2) by mimicking biophysical cues to which adult stem cells are expos
 ed in the body\, (3) by gaining insights into the mechanisms such as DNA d
 emethylation by which adult cells are reprogrammed to pluripotency (iPS) b
 y cell fusion in heterokaryons and (4) by studying the role of tolomerese 
 in stem-cell based diseases. These approaches provide fundamental mechanis
 tic insights into stem cell fate determination\, provide novel cell source
 s\, and should enable clinical applications of cell therapies for regenera
 tive medicine.
