iNKT Cells Made by iPS Cell Technology

Caption

CiRA researchers found that reprogramming one type of iNKT cells to iPS cells and then differentiating them back results in reprogrammed iNKT cells (re-iNKT cells) that show properties of another type. The ability to make expand the number of iNKT cells is expected to advance cancer therapies. The microscope image is of a colony of iNKT cells reprogrammed to the iPS cell state. Scale bar is 100 micro meter.
