Summary:
Scientists are working toi revert a patient's blood cells to the stem cell stage and then chemically nudge them to be able to differentiate into particular tissue types that can be implanted to heal damaged tissue.
Commentary: Hopefully this work will eventually be successful in treating patients with diseases and injuries and avoid ethical concerns posed by embryonic stem cell research.
