Abstract: In the past two years, scientists made breakthough in stem cell isolation and identification, induced differentiation, reprogramming and regulation mechanism, plasticity and disease treatment, which making stem-cell technology gradually transform into practical means for medical treatment from a laboratory concept. This paper summarized the progress in stem-cell research from 2013 to 2014, and analyzed the existing problems in stem cell research, aiming at providing reference for researchers.

摘要： 近两年在干细胞分离鉴定、诱导分化、重编程调控机制、可塑性与疾病治疗等方面取得了重大突破，使得干细胞技术从一种实验室概念逐渐转变成用于医学治疗的实际手段。本文分别从以上四个热点领域介绍了2013-2014年国内外干细胞的最新研究进展，并对干细胞研究中存在的问题进行了初步分析，为研究者提供参考。
