Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) are a new type of pluripotent stem cells first generated in 2006 by Kyoto University Professor Yamanaka Shinya. Human iPS cells can be made from skin or blood cells and be turned into a variety of cells in the body.

Japan experiences an average of 23 tornadoes per year. They often cause serious damage when they strike in populated areas such as plains or along the sea.
