sciencehabit writes “Researchers have discovered a surprisingly effective way to ‘reprogram’ mature mouse cells into an embryolike state, able to become any of the body’s cell types (abstract). Their recipe: Let the transformation happen in a living animal instead of a petri dish. The finding could help scientists better understand how reprogramming works and it may one day help breed replacement tissues or organs in the lab—or in living patients.”… sciencehabit writes “Researchers have discovered a surprisingly effective way to ‘reprogram’ mature mouse cells into an embryolike state, able to become any of the body’s cell types (abstract).
