Scientists create human embryonic stem cells with enhanced pluripotency

Thursday, May 6, 2010 - 01:31 in Biology & Nature

For the first time, researchers have converted established human induced pluripotent stem cells and human embryonic stem (ES) cells to state that corresponds to that of mouse embryonic stem cells.
