Dr. Robert Lanza: first human trial

Dr. Robert Lanza is a great scientist. He has made an important breakthrough in the field of biotechnology. He has taken the work of a Japanese researcher way ahead. The researcher found a way to regenerate stem cells from the skin cells. This method had a few issues. Mainly, the issue was that the genes and the viruses that were used to carry out this process would cause cancer and hence it could not be used on human beings. Dr. Robert Lanza came up with a new method that prevented this from happening. The cancer does not occur because of the genes anymore and can be used on human beings. These cells are called iPS cells.
These iPS cells can be used to cure diseases. All we need are a few cells from the diseased part of the body and regenerate them using Dr. Robert Lanza’s method. This can then be replaced into the human body. This has a lot of issues at the moment. The process takes a long time and the success rate is 0.001 per cent, this happens to be very low.
Dr. Robert Lanza is working on this and is sure we will come up with a solution. It took us less than 3 years to come up with the method and hopefully soon we will be able to speed up this process. Dr. Robert Lanza is trying to get authorization for the first human trial using the iPS cells sometime next year.
