Using existing cells to make stem cells in adults
This study looks at using your existing skin or tissue cells to create special lab-grown stem cells. It may help researchers explore new ways to generate cells for future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be healthy (not currently diagnosed with a serious illness).
- You must be older than 18 years old.

This study uses adult body cells (from participants) to create special lab cells called stem cells for research. It’s mainly about whether cells can be made and studied, not about treating a disease.
This study creates human stem cell lines from embryos left over after IVF. It may help researchers learn about stem cells, but you must agree to give consent and not use these specific embryos for building your family.
This trial uses donated body cells or small hair samples from people with neurological diseases (and healthy donors) to try to grow “nerve-like” cells for research. It may help scientists learn how to better study and treat different neurological conditions.
This study collects skin cells from people with certain long-term conditions (or specific genetic disorders). Researchers use the cells to try to build new treatments for human disease and disability in the future.
This study looks at how to create laboratory models of genetic diseases using stem cells made from people’s cells. It may help researchers understand disease causes and how treatments could work, using genetic patients (and some non-patient controls).
This study checks whether a treatment using your own skin graft material is safe and feasible. It aims to see if using a small sample from your skin and making an “autologous” skin graft can be done safely and with good follow-through.
