Summary:
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory reported on their success in using uniparental embryonic stem cells to replace blood stem cells in adult mice. Uniparental embryonic stem cells are an appealing alternative source of patient-derived embryonic stem cells, as they have several advantages over embryonic stem cell lines generated by somatic cell nuclear transfer (also known as therapeutic cloning).
