...defect in the gene that codes for an enzyme called monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A). A low level of activity on the MAO-A gene results in an excessive breakdown of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, which helps keep humans calm and happy.

...there so few distilleries trying to reinvent the drink?

While the new iPS cells may be safer, even Lanza admits there is much that researchers still need to learn about how they will react once inside a patient's body. The most pressing question remains whether iPS cells - or the nerves, muscles or any of the 200 other types of tissues potentially generated from them - would act the same way as human embryonic stem cells, which were not created in a petri dish. "We don't know if iPS cells can do everything that normal human embryonic stem cells can do," says Lanza. "There are certainly...
