Two major scientific papers published in Science and Cell (pdf) unveil a proven way to generate patient-matched human pluripotent stem cells without human cloning, and without the use of human embryos or human or animal eggs. Research groups in Wisconsin and Japan have generated "induced pluripotent state" (iPS) cells with the properties of human embryonic stem cells by direct reprogramming of adult cells.
