Key to Holy Grail of Stem Cell Research Found by Korean Scientists關鍵的聖杯幹細胞的研究發現，由韓國科學家
A Korean husband-and-wife scientist team has made headway in adult stem cell research by discovering a gene in charge of differentiating the parent cells in human bodies.一個韓國夫妻科學家小組已取得了進展，在成人幹細胞的研究發現了基因的負責鑑別母公司細胞在人體。
The team, co-headed by Professor Hong Jeong-ho at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Prof. Hwang Eun-sook at Harvard University, said yesterday that they pinpointed the gene, named TAZ.團隊，合作，為首的香港教授鄭鎬在麻省理工學院的技術和教授黃銀淑在哈佛大學，斯坦福大學，昨日表示，他們針對的基因，命名為taz 。 TAZ regulates adult stem cells’ growth into bone cells while the protein prevents adult stem cells from maturing into fat cells. taz規範成人幹細胞生長成骨細胞，而蛋白質可防止成人幹細胞從成熟到脂肪細胞。 
“Up until now, researchers have dug up many factors involved in the differentiation of adult stem cells. “截至目前為止，研究人員已經挖出的因素很多，涉及的分化成人幹細胞。 But this is the first time that a gene modulating all of the factors has been found.” - Professor Hong said.但，這是第一次，一個基因調控的各項因素，已發現的。 “ -香港的教授說。
Hong said he is now carrying out follow-up research to develop a way to make drugs with the substance that regulates the differentiation of adult stem cells with his wife and colleague, Professor Hwang.香港說，他現在是進行後續研究發展的方法，使藥物與物質規管分化的成體幹細胞與他的妻子和同事，黃禹錫教授。
“We expect TAZ to be effective in dealing with patients suffering from obesity or osteoporosis , diseases in which the bones become thin and susceptible to fracture.” - Hong said. “我們預期taz可有效地處理病人的痛苦，由肥胖或骨質疏鬆症 ，疾病，其中的骨頭，成為薄和容易骨折。 ” -香港的說。
Their finding was featured in the latest edition of the US-based weekly Science.他們的發現是，精選在最新出版的以美國為基地的每週科學。
The mechanism of either adult or embryonic stem cell differentiation has been the most sought-after discovery to both camps of stem cell researchers.機制，無論是成人或胚胎幹細胞分化一直是最搶手後，發現兩個營地的幹細胞研究。 Geneticists believe the next target for embryonic stem cell study is to grow the versatile cells, which can become all cell types in a body, into specific tissues or organs.遺傳學家認為，下一個目標，為胚胎幹細胞研究是要成長，多功能的細胞，它可以成為所有類型的細胞在一個機構，轉化為具體的組織或器官。
Adult stem cell researchers also agree that knowing the secret of differentiating adult stem cells, which typically create specific cell types similar to their tissues of origin, will increase their therapeutic applications.成人幹細胞研究人員也同意，不知道的秘密，區分成人幹細胞，通常創建的具體類型的細胞相似，其組織的原產地，將增加他們的治療應用。
