Obtaining stem cells

Some cells involved in the development of eggs can be reprogrammed under appropriate conditions.

This is what some researchers have discovered by studying the cells of the vinegar fly, and claim that the discovery could bring new sources of stem cell acquisition.

Scientists investigate the germ cells of vinegar flies. These cells are the precursors of the eggs and in the experiments they have seen that they can become stem cells again after their development. Now they will have to investigate another type of cells to find out if this result can be generalized.
