These so-called induced pluripotent stem cells, or IPS cells, could now become any cell.

这种所谓的诱导多潜能干细胞，缩写是：IPS细胞，现在可以变成任何类型的细胞。

Okano's research team, which earlier helped a mouse recover its mobility in a similar treatment, injected so-called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into a paralyzed marmoset, he said.

欧卡农教授告诉法新社，他们研究小组早起也曾用帮助一只小鼠恢复其活动能力，与注射所谓的诱导多能干细胞进入高位截瘫的猿猴的治疗方法类似。

“The next step would be to make iPS cells [induced pluripotent stem cells]” using this technique, says Andrews.

他还说，下一步就将用这种方法来诱导多能性干细胞。

That technique for generating embryonic-like stem cells (called induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells) bypassed the need for transferring the cells into eggs, as Wilmut had done, and also averted the ethical issues attached to extracting stem cells from embryos as Thomson had done.

Scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that the millions of fat cells removed during liposuction can be easily and quickly turned into induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, more easily than the skin cells that researchers used when the first iPS cells were created in 2007.

While cloning stem cells is a technical breakthrough, there's already a method of deriving embryonic-like stem cells that doesn't require the use of embryos at all: induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells, said Dr. George Daley, who is director of the Stem Cell Transplantation Program at Children's Hospital Boston and an international expert in stem cells.
