Professor Harry Moore, of the Centre for Stem Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield, UK, said there were a number of key differences between mice and human testes cells.
The citation for his knighthood credits Prof Wilmut with "revolutionising" biology through the cloning technique which underpins the science of stem cell technology.
If incorporated into a living cell, the stored DNA data might be changed or erased by the normal process of cell biology.
Professor of biological chemistry and developmental and cell biology, and co-director of the Center, Peter Donovan, feels the research could have massive benefits.
Civin, director of the University of Maryland's stem-cell biology center.
The authors of the PLoS Biology report claimed that iPS cell lines can create live, iPS derived mice that survive into adulthood.
FORBES: The Line Between Embryonic And Pluripotent Stem Cell Research Is Blurring
That's despite the fact that more species have been described in the last decade than in any previous one, according to a report published online on November 15 in the Cell Press publication Current Biology that details the first comprehensive register of marine species of the world-a massive collaborative undertaking by hundreds of experts around the globe.
ENGADGET: Scientists estimate at least one third of marine species remain unknown to humans
Dr. Gershon, professor of pathology and cell biology at Columbia, has been studying how the gut controls its behavior and that of other organs by investigating the neurotransmitter serotonin.
Dr Lorenz Studer, head of the Stem Cell and Tumor Biology Laboratory at the centre, and the lead researcher on the study, told BBC News Online that the study was "proof of principle" that cloned embryonic stem cells could be reliably transformed into a variety of useful cell types.
Moon also roped in his longtime collaborator, Philip Beachy, of the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine.
Indeed, a group of Harvard scientists will also publish a paper identifying presenilin 1 as gamma secretase in the July issue of Nature Cell Biology.
Professor Ian MacKenzie, a researcher in stem cell biology from the Queen Mary School of Medicine and Dentistry in London, said that it was still likely that stem cells played a significant role in the development of cancer.
Its purpose is to provide an exploration of the issues arising from current research in biology, particularly stem cell research.
Prior to venturing into the financial world, Mr. Wolfe published cutting-edge AIDS-immunopathology research in Cell Vision and The Journal of Leukocyte Biology, leading medical-immunology journals.

Perlmutter and his wife Laura have endowed a cell biology professorship in their names at the Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine, part of New York University's Langone Medical Center, where Laura is a trustee.
Several companies are already seeking to take advantage of the new field, called synthetic biology, which combines chemistry, computer science, molecular biology, genetics and cell biology to breed industrial life forms that can secrete fuels, vaccines or other commercial products.
"The poor secretary was being quizzed about the scientific details of those 64 stem cell lines, " says Douglas Melton , chair of molecular biology at Harvard, who also testified yesterday.
