Biology Biology Basics Experiments/Lab Study Aids From Regina Bailey, your Guide to Biology New Method For Reprogramming Stem Cells Researchers have discovered a more efficient method for creating reprogrammed stem cells. With this new method, known as the microRNA method, about 10,000 induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be produced from every 100,000 adult human stem cells used. The current method for producing iPSCs only yields... Read more The Amygdala The amygdala is an almond shaped mass of nuclei located deep within the temporal lobe of the brain.
