For the first time, Whitehead Institute researchers converted established human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and human embryonic stem (ES) cells to state that corresponds to that of mouse embryonic stem cells, which are more immature and have greater pluripotency, and are much easier to propagate and to manipulate than traditional human ES.
