Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) have rocketed onto the stage, heralded as a rival for embryonic stem cells, though the latest research suggests otherwise. The rapid advances have made it hard to keep track of the field with loads of labs churning out the papers and a couple of bright idea that never made it past a media announcement.

To make it simple Ed Yong has done a brilliant job of constructing an iPSC research timeline of the research in a cool package called Dipity.  Well worth a look and saves you wading through countless papers to get the background.  Check the timeline and post here
