His first operation was to remove a benign tumor from his friend Shuichi Hirata, a task he could not complete after one hour when a skilled surgeon would have taken ten minutes or so. [27] He shared the 1.2 million euro prize with Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel. iPS cells can be selected by inserting the b-geo gene into the Fbx15 locus. In October 2012, he and fellow stem cell researcher John Gurdon were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent."[28]. They thought that cellular differentiation can only be a unidirectional process. They were able to systematically identify genes that carry out transdifferentiation using combinations of transcription factors that induce cell fate switches. First, he collected the 24 candidate factors. Further work is required to guarantee safety for patients. He is also a senior investigator at the Gladstone Institutes as well as the director of the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application. - Alzheimer’s, Spinocerebellar ataxia, Huntington’s etc. So, there are still many challenges, but it is a very exciting and promising research area. However, stem cells with limited potency (adult stem cells) remain in bone marrow, intestine, skin etc. Can develop into all cell types (except those that form the amniotic sac and the placenta. However, there are some difficulties to overcome. Open to: All Teachers Opportunity at a Glance: While The Times is known for its award-winning journalism, the paper also has a robust tradition of publishing personal essays. 2. STEM Writing Contest Explain a complex and interesting science, math, engineering or technology concept to a general audience. Between 1996 and 1999, he was an assistant professor at Osaka City University Medical School, but found himself mostly looking after mice in the laboratory, not doing actual research.[10]. [2] iPS cells closely resemble embryonic stem cells, the in vitro equivalent of the part of the blastocyst (the embryo a few days after fertilization) which grows to become the embryo proper. This opened up a completely new research field. He serves as the director of Center for iPS Cell Research and Application and a professor at the Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences at Kyoto University; as a senior investigator at the UCSF-affiliated J. David Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco, California; and as a professor of anatomy at University of California, San Francisco. In 1962, John B. Gurdon demonstrated that the nucleus from a differentiated frog intestinal epithelial cell can generate a fully functional tadpole via transplantation to an enucleated egg. He also has a history of running marathons. Aliya is a student in Dr. LaGrassa's Research class. After graduating from Tennōji High School attached to Osaka Kyoiku University,[8] he received his M.D. [24][25] In June 2011, he was awarded the inaugural McEwen Award for Innovation; he shared the $100,000 prize with Kazutoshi Takahashi, who was the lead author on the paper describing the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. For the first time this year, the NYT is sponsoring a STEM Writing Contest for this age group. Secondly, further experiments were conducted with smaller numbers of transcription factors added to identify the key factors, through a very simple and yet sensitive assay system. neural stem cells). For example, kinetin was a novel compound found in iPS cells from familial dysautonomia and beta blockers & ion channel blockers for long QT syndrome were identified with iPS cells. the fertilised egg. Small substitutive molecules were identified, that can substitute for the function of the transcription factors. degree at Kobe University in 1987 and his Ph.D. degree at Osaka City University Graduate School in 1993. - Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Rett syndrome, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), α1-antitrypsin deficiency, familial hypercholesterolemia and glycogen storage disease type 1A. The New York Times Invites Students To Enter STEM Writing Contest ... and Science News invite students to bring the spirit of inquiry and discovery to a new STEM writing contest. He received the 2010 BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the biomedicine category, the 2011 Wolf Prize in Medicine with Rudolf Jaenisch,[6] and the 2012 Millennium Technology Prize together with Linus Torvalds. Shinya Yamanaka (山中 伸弥, Yamanaka Shin'ya, born September 4, 1962) is a Japanese stem cell researcher, winner of the Nobel Prize. Also in 2007, they were the first to produce human iPS cells. Transcription factors required for inducing pluripotency in different cell types have been identified (e.g. However, there is a danger that it may introduce mutations or other genomic abnormalities that render it unsuitable for cell therapy. In July 2014, a scandal regarding the research of Haruko Obokata was connected to Yamanaka. to act as a source of cell replacement. This was the first time an intact differentiated somatic cell could be reprogrammed to become pluripotent. They started with 24 transcription factors known to be important in the early embryo, but could in the end reduce it to 4 transcription factors – Sox2, Oct4, Klf4 and c-Myc. It showed that a differentiated cell nucleus has retained the capacity to successfully revert to an undifferentiated state, with the potential to restart development (pluripotent capacity). Yamanaka focused on factors that are important for maintaining pluripotency in embryonic stem (ES) cells. When all 24 genes encoding these transcription factors were introduced into skin fibroblasts, few actually generated colonies that were remarkably similar to ES cells. After a 20-year gap, he competed in the inaugural Osaka Marathon in 2011 as a charity runner with a time of 4:29:53. He concluded that differentiated somatic cell nuclei had the potential to revert to pluripotency. The New York Times Learning Network 2018 Student Editorial Contest Finalists (in alphabetical order by title) Winners A Generation Z's Take on the Social Media Age by Elena Quartararo, age 17 Accountability-ased Testing is roken by Alan Peng, age 17 ^ ivil Obedience by Anushka Agarwal, age 16 Dinner Table Politics by ridget Smith, age 15 So, cells progressively become more restricted in the differentiation potential and eventually lose pluripotency.[14]. Between 2004 and 2010, Yamanaka was a professor at the Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences. Shinya Yamanaka proved that introduction of a small set of transcription factors into a differentiated cell was sufficient to revert the cell to a pluripotent state. [13], The fact that differentiated cell types had specific patterns of proteins suggested irreversible epigenetic modifications or genetic alterations to be the cause of unidirectional cell differentiation. Multiple stem cells were used to differentiate the component parts of the liver, which then self-organized into the complex structure. Teach Narrative Writing with The New York Times. His wife advised him to become a practicing doctor, but instead he applied for a position at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology. They tried to change the cell fate without proceeding through a pluripotent state. Yamanaka developed the method as an alternative to embryonic stem cells, thus circumventing an approach in which embryos would be destroyed. However, now, non-integrating viruses, stabilised RNAs or proteins, or episomal plasmids (integration-free delivery mechanism) are used. Yamanaka is also a past president of the International Society for Stem Cell Rese can give rise to all other cell types. At first retroviral vectors, that integrate randomly in the genome and cause deregulation of genes that contribute to tumor formation, were used. He could not find the lab notes from the period in question[15] and was made to apologise.[16][17]. 4. Therefore, non-differentiated egg/early embryo cells can only develop into specialized cells. [10], From 1993 to 1996, he was at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease. I have posted before about The New York Times Learning Network, which offers wonderful free educational materials for students over the age of 13. [11] Currently, Yamanaka is the director and a professor at the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application at Kyoto University. Afterwards he worked at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco, US, and Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan. 3. After this, he went through a residency in orthopedic surgery at National Osaka Hospital and a postdoctoral fellowship at the J. David Gladstone Institutes of Cardiovascular Disease, San Francisco. Gurdon used somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) as a method to understand reprogramming and how cells change in specialization.

Cell replacement therapy with iPS cells is a possibility. These pluripotent cells are called iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells; they appeared with very low frequency. The New York Times Learning Network STEM Writing Student Contest Rubric Beginning (1) Excellent (4) Focus & Clarity: Writing explains a STEM-related topic so that, in 500 words or fewer, it is understandable to a general reader. Can develop into any of a family of closely related cell types. [20] Yamanaka was also nominated as a 2008 Time 100 Finalist. He stated that he could and would clarify the characteristics of embryonic stem cells, and this can-do attitude won him the job. For example, the early embryo consists mainly of pluripotent stem cells. In May 2010, Yamanaka was given "Doctor of Science honorary degree" by Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Some seniors referred to him as "Jamanaka", a pun on the Japanese word for obstacle. 7. iPS cells provide screening platforms for development and validation of therapeutic compounds. These are some types of cells that will help in understanding the material. The first is the issue of the very low production rate of iPS cells, and the other is the fact that the 4 transcriptional factors are shown to be oncogenic. Bronx Science Student is a Winner in The New York TImes STEM Writing Contest. From 1999–2003, he was an associate professor there, and started the research that would later win him the 2012 Nobel Prize. Transdifferentiation experiments were carried out. The Fbx15 promoter is active in pluripotent stem cells which induce b-geo expression, which in turn gives rise to G418 resistance; this resistance helps us identify the iPS cells in culture. Safe (clinical trials), The prevalent view during the early 20th century was that mature cells were permanently locked into the differentiated state and cannot return to a fully immature, pluripotent stem cell state. 6. [7] In 2013 he was awarded the $3 million Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences for his work. His personal best is 3:25:20 at 2018 Beppu-Ōita Marathon. Shinya Yamanaka is a Japanese stem cell researcher, winner of the Nobel Prize. The delivery mechanism of pluripotency factors has been improved. Students are asked to submit a 500 word piece of informational writing about a STEM topic which interests them. September 30, 2020 justinpmathews I Teach NYC Leave a comment. [9], Between 1987 and 1989, Yamanaka was a resident in orthopedic surgery at the National Osaka Hospital. This contest is inspired by Trilobites, the Science Times … Since the original discovery by Yamanaka, much further research has been done in this field, and many improvements have been made to the technology. In 2006, he and his team generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) from adult mouse fibroblasts. Totipotency remains through the first few cell divisions, e.g. [21] In June 2010, Yamanaka was awarded the Kyoto Prize for reprogramming adult skin cells to pluripotential precursors. [2], The 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded jointly to Sir John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka "for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent."[12]. Later he and his team generated iPS cells from human adult fibroblasts,[3] again as the first group to do so. He became a full professor and remained at the institute in that position from 2003–2005. Yamanaka is currently a professor at Kyoto University, where he directs its Center for iPS Research and Application. Nonetheless, this is a truly fundamental discovery. This was a paradigm shift during the time. Evidence: Writing provides relevant background information and uses valid sources, including appropriate 5. Yamanaka's research has “opened a new door and the world's scientists have set forth on a long journey of exploration, hoping to find our cells’ true potential.”[18], In 2013, iPS cells were used to generate a human vascularized and functional liver in mice in Japan. Yamanaka is also a past president of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR). Stem cells can replace diseased or lost cells in degenerative disorders and they are less prone to immune rejection. Yamanaka practiced judo (2nd Dan black belt) and played rugby as a university student. When placed into a mouse host, the liver vessels connected to the hosts vessels and performed normal liver functions, including breaking down of drugs and liver secretions.[19]. Lastly, he identified the four key genes. However, the question still remained whether an intact differentiated cell could be fully reprogrammed to become pluripotent. Knowing that transcription factors were involved in the maintenance of the pluripotent state, he selected a set of 24 ES cell transcriptional factors as candidates to reinstate pluripotency in somatic cells. A key difference from previous attempts by the field was his team's use of multiple transcription factors, instead of transfecting one transcription factor per experiment. Theoretically patient-specific transplantations possible, Immune rejection reducible via stem cell bank, No immune rejection Somatic cell replication Embryonic Stem (ES) cell, 2010 – BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Biomedicine Category, This page was last edited on 24 September 2020, at 23:13. capable of generating all cell lineages of the body. [23], Yamanaka has been listed as one of the 15 Asian Scientists To Watch by Asian Scientist magazine on May 15, 2011. They found that 4 transcriptional factors (Myc, Oct3/4, Sox2 and Klf4) were sufficient to convert mouse embryonic or adult fibroblasts to pluripotent stem cells (capable of producing teratomas in vivo and contributing to chimeric mice). For example, blood multipotent cells can develop into various blood cells. They found trandifferentiation within germ layer and between germ layers, e.g., They could show that his iPS cells were pluripotent, i.e. Improvements made to Yamanaka's research as well as future prospects of his findings are as follows: 1. In 2007, Yamanaka was recognized as a "Person Who Mattered" in the Time Person of the Year edition of Time Magazine. Can medically use iPS cells from patients with genetic and other disorders to gain insights into the disease process. [26], In June 2012, he was awarded the Millennium Technology Prize for his work in stem cells. - For cardiovascular disease, Timothy syndrome, LEOPARD syndrome, type 1 and 2 long QT syndrome Yamanaka was born in Higashiōsaka, Japan, in 1962. Moreover, in 2007, Yamanaka and his colleagues found iPS cells with germline transmission (via selecting for Oct4 or Nanog gene). [2][3][4] He serves as the director of Center for iPS Cell (induced Pluripotent Stem Cell) Research and Application and a professor at the Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences at Kyoto University; as a senior investigator at the UCSF-affiliated J. David Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco, California; and as a professor of anatomy at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Because of internet privacy laws around the world, students ages 16-19 can submit their own entries, but teachers must submit entries on behalf of students age 15 and under. In 2012 he and John Gurdon were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for the discovery that mature cells can be converted to stem cells. [22], In September 2010, he was awarded the Balzan Prize for his work on biology and stem cells. exocrine cells to endocrine cells, fibroblast cells to myoblast cells, fibroblast cells to cardiomyocyte cells, fibroblast cells to neurons. He took part in Kyoto Marathon to raise money for iPS research since 2012.
