For more than a decade, Dr. Peter Zandstra, the Canada Research Chair in Stem Cell Bioengineering, has been working at the University of Toronto to increase the production of stem cells.十年多來，醫生彼得zandstra ，加拿大研究主持在幹細胞生物工程，一直在多倫多大學，以增加生產的幹細胞。 To do this, he has been applying engineering principles to stem cell research.要做到這一點，他一直在運用工程原理，以幹細胞研究。 Starting with computer models of stem cell growth and differentiation (the process by which a stem cell matures into its final form), Dr. Zandstra has moved on to develop more sophisticated culture methods that fine-tune the micro-environments to guide the generation of the different cells types that make up the mature cells in our tissues.從計算機模型的造血幹細胞生長和分化（這個過程，其中一個幹細胞的日趨成熟，進入了最後的形式） ，博士zandstra已轉移到開發更先進文化的方法微調的微環境，以引導代不同的細胞類型，彌補成熟細胞，在我們的組織中。

In November Japanese researchers showed that adult human and mouse skin cells could be reprogrammed into stem cells similar to embryonic stem cells, which can be transformed into any type of cell. 11月，日本研究顯示，成年人類和老鼠的皮膚細胞，可重組成成幹細胞類似胚胎幹細胞，這種細胞可以轉變成任何類型的細胞。 These cells, called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS), has the potential to be a major step forward in using stem cells to cure a variety of diseases.這些細胞被稱為誘導多能幹細胞（ IPS ）技術，有可能成為一個重大的一步，在利用幹細胞來治療各種疾病。 A major concern with using such stem cells (iPS) to treat disease has been the possibility that the retrovirus used to implant the cells might cause cancer, but now a group of Japanese scientists solved that problem.備受關注的主要問題是利用這種幹細胞（ IPS ）技術，以治療疾病已成為一種可能性，即逆轉錄病毒用來植入細胞，有可能導致癌症，但現在一組日本科學家解決了這個問題。

Why is it so interesting?為什麼它這麼有趣？ Dr. James Watson is a famous American molecular biologist and a Nobel Laureate, best known as one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA.博士沃森是美國著名的分子生物學家和一位諾貝爾獎獲得者，最出名的一個共同發現者的DNA結構。 He recently provoked a furious public outcry by claiming black Africans were less intelligent than whites.他在日前挑起憤怒的公憤，聲稱非洲黑人較少智能高於白人。 It is very likely he had an African great grand-parent.它很可能他曾是非洲偉大的宏偉雙親。

Dr Watson was forced to resign his post as head of a research laboratory in New York shortly after questioning the comparative intelligence of Africans.議員沃森被迫辭職後，他擔任一個研究實驗室，在紐約後不久，質疑比較情報的非洲人。 In an interview during his recent British book tour, Dr. Watson said he was “inherently gloomy about the prospects for Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really”.在接受採訪時，在他最近英國預訂旅行團，博士沃森說，他"本來就黯淡的前景感到非洲" ，因為"我們所有的社會政策，是基於以下事實：他們的情報是一樣的，我們-而所有測試說不是真的" 。

In a major breakthrough Oregon researcher’s reported that they had created the world’s first fully formed, cloned monkey embryos and harvested batches of stem cells from them.在一項重大突破，俄勒岡州的研究人員的報告說，他們已研製出世界上第一個完全形成，克隆的猴子胚胎細胞和收割批次的幹細胞。 The monkey embryos were each created from a single skin cell of a monkey.猴子胚胎，分別創造了從一個單一皮膚細胞的猴子。 It also effectively settles a long-standing scientific debate about whether primates, which includes monkeys and humans, are biologically capable of being cloned; yes primates are capable of being cloned.它也有效地解決了長期未決的科學辯論是否靈長類動物，其中包括猴子和人類，在生理上能夠被克隆;是靈長類動物，是能夠被克隆。
