Editor's Note: Until recently, scientists primarily worked with two kinds of stem cells from
animals and humans: embryonic stem cells and non-embryonic “somatic” or “adult” stem
cells. Scientists are just now beginning to improve their understanding of a third kind:
induced pluripotent stem cells. Our authors describe how they were discovered, what they
are, and why a growing number of researchers and clinicians believe that they may be one
of the keys in helping address various brain disorders.
