Summary:

For the first time, two mice pups were made from a kind of blood cell that cannot replicate. The results of the experiment could mean that adult stem cells may not be necessary for successful animal cloning. Scientists believe the new findings open up a new area of study in the field of cloning research.

Commentary: Maybe this finding will eventually yield effective treatments for diseases and injuries using adult stem cells.
