Where this comes from

Abstract

Yamanaka and colleagues, in a Science article currently published online, have generated induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from liver and stomach cells, suggesting that transcription factor-induced reprogramming is not restricted to particular cell types (Aoi et al., 2008). These results also provide important insight into the mechanistic basis of reprogramming.
