Using what they say is a relatively simple method, scientists at Georgetown University Medical Center have extracted stem/progenitor cells from testes and have converted them back into pluripotent embryonic-like stem cells. Researchers say that the naďve cells are now potentially capable of morphing into any cell type that a body needs, from brain neurons to pancreatic tissue.
