Summary:
The Financial Times reports on a new discovery of a mouse embryonic stem cell that is similar to a human embryonic stem cell:
"Scientists at Oxford and Cambridge universities have made a breakthrough in understanding the biology of embryonic stem cells, which they say will accelerate the development of treatments for degenerative diseases. Working independently, the two teams used mouse embryos to derive a type of cell similar to a human embryonic stem cell. Roger Pedersen of Cambridge called it a 'missing link between mouse and human embryonic stem cells'".
