Scientists Convert Human Skin Cells Into Embryonic Stem Cells : After years of failure, scientists have finally found a method to create embryonic stem cells without destroying a fertilized embryo (JASON KOEBLER, May 15, 2013, US News)
For the first time, a team of scientists say they have successfully converted human skin cells into embryonic stem cells, a move that could help quiet the ethical debate surrounding stem cell research.Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University say they were able to implant the nucleus from a skin cell into a donated human egg cell with its nucleus removed, creating an embryo-like cell that has the genetic makeup of the patient who donated the skin cell.
