Last month, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012 was awarded jointly to Sir John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka "for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent".
STEM CELLS - THE FUTURE: AN INTRODUCTION TO IPS CELLS by Amy Hardie and Clare Blackburn tells the story of this extraordinary scientific discovery that has changed the way we think about human biology.
On 10 December 2012, John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka will be awarded their Nobel Prize in Stockholm. Biology teachers, students, and anyone with an interest in stem cells can help us celebrate the award by taking part in our BIG view of stem cells.
Our new film STEM CELLS - THE FUTURE is about the particular area of stem cell research pioneered by John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka - induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells).
The long-awaited release of this acclaimed documentary by Amy Hardie and Clare Blackburn has been a success, and orders have already come in from Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Israel, the Netherlands, Serbia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In particular, the download for educational use is very popular at an introductory price of £49 (€55, $79).

Stem Cell Revolutions has been announced the winner of the Best Documentary award at Vedere la Scienza Festival 2012 - the 16th edition of the international festival of science film, video and documentary in Milan, Italy.
A six-minute video produced by the New York Stem Cell Foundation and available to view on their website.
A feature length documentary film and companion civic engagement campaign.Through the personal experiences of researcher Dr. Jack Kessler and his daughter, Allison, lab researchers and others affected by spinal cord injury, the film "follows the evolving interplay between the promise of new discoveries and the controversy of modern science".
Stem Cells: Vision of the Future is a new feature-length documentary charting the history and scientific evolution of stem cell research - from the earliest experiments that first revealed stem cells in the body to current scientific and clinical developments.
Supported by the Wellcome Trust and by the same team behind Stem Cell Stories, the documentary includes an interview with iPS pioneer Shinya Yamanaka and other eminent scientists. Acclaimed novelist Margaret Atwood also features in this genuinely creative collaboration between scientists and filmmakers.
Free screenings of the film followed by a discussion with a stem cell scientist are happening across the UK this summer.
