Abstract

Editors' note: The Ogawa-Yamanaka Stem Cell Prize recognizes groundbreaking work in translational regenerative medicine using reprogrammed cells. The prize is supported by Gladstone Institutes, in partnership with Cell Press. Among his myriad accomplishments, Rudolf Jaenisch-winner of the 2025 Ogawa-Yamanaka Stem Cell Prize-was the first to demonstrate the potential of induced pluripotent stem cells to treat disease.
