Scientists hail gain in human embryonic stem cell research

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in creating human embryonic stem cells by injecting DNA from a skin cell into an unfertilized egg, according to a study published Wednesday. Ted Golos, a professor of Comparative Biosciences at the school of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who is not involved in this new research, says this new study isn’t a giant leap forward but it’s an interesting one.
