Masaya

A research team led by Professor Shingo Hatoya and Dr. Masaya Tsukamoto from the Graduate School of Veterinary Science at Osaka Metropolitan University has identified six reprogramming genes that can boost canine iPSC generation by about 120 times compared to conventional methods using fibroblasts.

Last month, a CCC activist - Tapfumaneyi Masaya - campaigning in the Harare constituency was found dead after unidentified people forced him into a vehicle, according to the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights group.

Masaya’s killing followed other attacks on opposition figures since the Aug. 23 election.

Tapfumaneyi Masaya was abducted in broad daylight in mid-November while campaigning in Mabvuku - an opposition stronghold in the capital, Harare.

But while here, he was made aware of threats he would be jailed if he returned to his parish church in Masaya, where he had assisted injured protesters.
