Stem Cells Made From Developing Sperm

The promise of stem cell therapy may lie in uncovering how adult cells revert back into a primordial, stem cell state, whose fate is yet to be determined. Now, cell scientists have identified key molecular players responsible for this reversion in fruit fly sperm cells. Researchers have shown that two proteins are responsible redirecting cells on the way to becoming sperm back to stem cells.
