News from St. Paul on July 25 ' Reporter Zhang XinSheng) According to Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology website, the scientific research personnel that St. Paul university is medical obtained and utilized transforming the skin gene to obtain and induce the multi-functional stem cell (iPS cells) recently Scientific findings.

The intersection of guidance and teacher, the intersection of St. Paul and the intersection of university and medical department of scientific research project this guide the intersection of agate and the intersection of Sri Lankan and the intersection of department and gas, Dehu of tower, say appraise the scientific findings: "This research results make Brazil in outstanding status of scientific research in the world.

The purpose of the research is transforming as iPS cells through planting into the cells in order to grow up of gene in adult's cells. Some research projects in the world have used this kind of technology too, but will cause tumour to produce after iPS cells after carrying on the genetic transformation have been planted into animal's body.

This scientific research personnel have used SOX2, C-MYC and another anonymous gene to revise human adult's skin cells in the course of studying, have succeeded in transforming it into iPS cells, and avoided the production of tumour. This research group is continuing making great efforts in order to reveal other characteristics and its potential therapeutic functions that these cells have at present.
