Simple switch turns cells embryonic, removes need for eggs or embryos
Topic: Science 4:50 pm EDT, Jun 10, 2007

Research reported this week by three different groups shows that normal skin cells can be reprogrammed to an embryonic state in mice. The race is now on to apply the surprisingly straightforward procedure to human cells.

If researchers succeed, it will make it relatively easy to produce cells that seem indistinguishable from embryonic stem cells, and that are genetically matched to individual patients.
