n light of ethical concerns with using embryonic stem (ES) cells for research and therapeutic development, scientists have since developed technologies to allow one to reprogram somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells that are akin to ES cells. With the advent of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology in 2006, scientists can now easily reprogram somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells. read more
