Summary:
With the introduction of just four factors, researchers have successfully induced differentiated cells taken from mouse embryos or adult mice to behave like embryonic stem cells. This new finding could enable pluripotent cells to be obtained directly from the patients' own cells, avoiding the risk of tissue and immune rejection.
Commentary: Maybe this can lead to safe treatment of human diseases while avoiding ethical controversy.
