Hi Melissa, I thought this article was definitely interesting with the debates coming up because I didn't even know that adult cells could be converted to different cells by first being converted to stem cell-like cells.http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/01/110130213901.htm
With the debate about stem cells and their use in research and transplantation coming up, I thought this article was interesting as it is a different way to think of stem cells and their purpose. With new technology, researchers have been able to convert adult cells directly into different types of cells without first having to convert them to embryonic-like stem cells.
