- Abstract
- On 23 July 2009, two separate research groups reported the first successful generation of adult mice from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using tetraploid complementation (Kang et al. 2009; Zhao et al., 2009). These experiments are part of ongoing research into the differences and similarities between iPSCs and embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The recent results may raise challenges for those who accept iPSC research but find human ESC research ethically problematic.
