...technique allows scientists to genetically manipulate a patient’s cells??€”typically skin cells or blood cells??€”and reprogram them into a pluripotent state. Like embryonic stem cells, these iPS cells are then capable of morphing into any type of body tissue...

...Unlike retroviruses, which scientists have been using to create iPS cells, these viruses effectively disappear after a few cell divisions and do not integrate into the cells??€™ DNA. The effect of this is that adenoviruses are free from the chief adverse effect of genetic manipulation, which can turn on cancer genes and trigger malignant tumor growth...

...Harvard researchers have already created stem cells for ten genetic disorders using a new technique that isolates human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The technique allows scientists to genetically manipulate a patient's cells??€”typically skin cells or blood cells??€”and reprogram them into a pluripotent state; like embryonic stem cells, these iPS cells are then capable of morphing into any type of body tissue...

This method takes regular human cells??€”in this case skin cells??€”and uses viruses to reprogram them into cells that can develop into any kind of human tissue, in theory providing all the benefits of embryonic stem cells...
