(continued from below) If she does go on to do more research on this finding, however, it could lead to bigger, better discoveries, which could then win her a Nobel Prize. The discovery of genome sequencing by Frederick Sanger was Nobel Worthy - it completely changed the way we do genetics today. Yamanaka's production of induced Pluripotent Stem Cells was Nobel Worthy. Hers could eventually lead to bigger discoveries, but it isn't quite there yet.
I don't think her discovery alone is Nobel-worthy - she did give a good overview of the absolute basics of Stem Cell Biology, and some of the established facts that are usually taught to students of Regenerative Medicine. A Nobel-worthy discovery would be much more pivotal than her mere addition of one fact - that she has found a way to make the differential potential of adult stem cells better, almost as much as embryonic stem cells.

Giostar, advancell and Swiss Medica are companies that do stem cell treatment
