First came the remarkable work of Shinya Yamanaka at Kyoto University, who showed it was possible, by activating just four genes, to take a mature cell (he used a bit of skin but other cells would work) and turn it into the equivalent of an embryonic stem cell with the potential to become any other cell in the body of mouse or human.

Other proponents of stem cell research reject using clones for such purposes, but the potential has led opponents of embryonic stem cell research to warn that federal funding could lead to wider cloning experimentation.
Google's newly launched Android cell phone platform has similar potential and social networking applications are already being developed for it.
The study was praised as offering "an important insight into potential effects of cell phone radiation on the human brain" by Renee Sharp, director of the Environmental Working Group California office.
So we had a way of marrying the device that the company was working with a novel cell line that had the potential to really address some major unmet needs in cancer.

"There's just so much more potential when searching a cell phone or an e-mail archive, to uncover information that has no relevance to the object of the search, but yet could reveal many private and personal matters, " Silverstein says.
There is so much confusion surrounding the question of possible danger from cell phones, that the FCC announcement raises questions about what sort of review will be conducted, how much credibility it will have, and whether it will come to grips with the varied and difficult scientific evidence bearing on the potential health effects of cell phone radiation.
Although the older adults were no more likely to be struck by a (virtual) car, the findings nevertheless suggest that cell phones and other distractions pose a potential safety risk to older people, Neider says.
Depending on who's getting arrested, and for what, warrantless searches of cell phone data could have wide-ranging potential to implicate not just the arrested person, but also to draw police attention to other people who might be involved (or merely associated) with the arrestee.
Researchers in the solar cell industry have known for a while that one potential avenue for improving solar cells is the use of carbon nanotubes.
Spanish security suspect the cell was testing a remote-controlled plane as a potential bomber.
In the case of lead and lead dioxide, this potential difference is just over two volts per cell.
Researchers highly value embryonic stem cells because of their potential to turn into any organ or tissue cell in the body.
While cloning is just one part of stem cell research, it has been touted as having enormous potential as a cure for all manner of diseases.
As the action potential passes, special proteinaceous gates open in the cell's membrane.
Nokia represents a huge potential market down the road: hundreds of millions of cell phone users.
Scientists working on embryos say that stem cell research is in its infancy and not enough is known about the potential of either adult or embryonic stem cells to abandon one approach in favour of the other.
As the source of every cell, tissue and organ in the body, their medical application has the potential to repair damaged tissue, regrow internal organs and cure currently incurable diseases like cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Embryonic stem cells are seen by many researchers as having great potential because they can in theory be coaxed to create any kind of cell type in the body.
It wasn't until Tarceva extended the lives of patients with non-small cell lung cancer that it became clear that OSI and Genentech actually did have a potential blockbuster on their hands.
