Efficiency of creating IPS cells from 1 to 100%
And more good news for Team Tokyo. A group of researchers not only sped up the process of creating IPS cells 4x, but also increased efficiency from 1% to 100%. Great news indeed. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0918132440.htm

Here's a recap of the final part of the interview with Dr Tsuji in May 2012 regarding what's holding them back:
“There is a need for a number of improvements, including magnification techniques for stem cells, before the method is applied to a large surface as in humans,” Dr. Tsuji says. “We are looking at some 10 years from now.”
I don't even think Dr Tsuji was expecting such a major breakthrough within one year of their results!
This will snowball into major medical breakthroughs and trials over the next few years

Haha if BTT were a person, they would most certainly be bipolar.
Good news, though.

10 YEARS?
That's WAY too long
However, if in 10 years I will be able to regain all my hair for a reasonable price, I'll still gladly take it

Also keep in mind that the first ever human clinical trial with IPS cells has recently started and is now recruiting. Also in Japan of course, which seems to have taken the world leading position regarding stem cells. http://www.rikenresearch.riken.jp/eng/roundup/7499.html
You can bet Team Tokyo is keeping a close eye on all these developments. In fact, since all regulatory hurdles in Japan have been cleared, I'm hoping they're going to start their own trails within 18 months (like they planned)
