Summary:

Harvard researchers say they've discovered a way to combine embryonic stem cells with human skin cells, which were then reprogrammed to become embryonic cells, hoping that turning adult cells back to their embryonic state would offer new therapeutic possibilities while sidestepping the political concerns of using embryonic stem cells.
