iPS cells
iPS cells reprogrammed from a woman's skin. Blue shows nuclei. Green indicate a protein found in reprogrammed cells but not in skin cells (NANOG). The red dots show the inactivated X chromosomes in each cell. These cells can be matured into cells of the body, and used for studying models of disease.
The image was taken in the laboratory of Kathrin Plath at the University of California, Los Angeles.
