Last year Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University won a Nobel prize for the invention of induced pluripotency.

日本京都大学（Kyoto University）的山中伸弥（Shinya Yamanaka）由于成功诱导细胞的多能性而于去年荣获诺贝尔奖。

Academia is pushing ahead as well. Inspired by Dr Yamanaka's work, people are looking for other shortcuts to pluripotency.

学术界则正在进一步地研究iPS技术。受到山中教授研究成果的启发，人们纷纷开始探究诱导细胞多能性更为便捷的其他途径。
