Potent Stem Cells From Sperm

A team of German scientists reported that it has succeeded in turning stem cells that become sperm in mice into cells with many of the characteristics of embryonic stem (ES) cells. If the same feat can be done with human sperm stem cells, scientists say the technique could offer a much-sought alternative to destroying human embryos for acquiring ES-like cells.
