Pluripotent cells can generate any cell type, but not an entire organism.

多功能细胞能够分化成任何细胞，却不能生成完整的器官。

Both techniques avoid the initial step of converting skin cells into embryo-like pluripotent cells - a technique which poses a possible cancer risk.

这两种技术，都可避免皮肤细胞转化为胚胎多能干细胞的这个初始阶段，在这个阶段里可能会使病人受到患上癌症的风险。

Why has it been so hard and why does it continue to be difficult to identify these pluripotent cells within tissues?

为什么会那么难呢,为什么在组织中识别多能干细胞,始终困难重重呢

If we understood them well enough we could potentially make any particular kind of cell in the body from those pluripotent cells.

如果我们能研究得足够透彻,我们就有可能利用这些多能干细胞,制造我们体内任何特定的细胞

Those are called embryonic stem cells, they are self-renewing, and they are pluripotent, meaning they have many potencies.

这些称为胚胎干细胞,它们可以自我更新,且是多能干细胞,即它们有多种潜能

Defenders of embryonic stem cell work say that it is important even in understand adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, which resemble the embryonic cells but can be created without destroying embryos.

FORBES: The Scientist Who Helped Stall Stem Cell Research

Let's be clear: this is not about embryonic stem cell research, which, despite the hype may deliver something given time, although the alternatives of adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells look set to deliver results much quicker.

CNN: Human stem cell cloning: 'Holy Grail' or techno-fantasy?

In mice, Daley and colleagues have shown that stem cells derived from the nuclear transfer of cells to make embryos -- the technique described in Mitalipov's paper -- were indeed closer to natural embryo stem cells than induced pluripotent stem cells.
