Scientists succeed in direct cell conversion

Stanford researchers recently succeeded in changing mice skins cells directly in to bloods cells. The current method for such transformations requires the intermediate step of first turning the skin cells into induced pluripotent stem cells.
According to the researchers, this new method is simpler and easier. Researchers will now work on direcet conversion of other types of cells.
Here's an aritcle from the Milwaukee Wisconsin Journey Sentinel that gives a great overview of this new breakthrough.
