He explained that the fused, reprogrammed cells contain twice the number of chromosomes as normal cells and therefore do not function like normal human cells. While scientists attempt to understand and perfect cell reprogramming, Cowan said that current adult stem cell research should not impede methods using embryonic stem cells to treat diseases. “It may take us 10 to 15 years to really understand how to do this safely and then use the [reprogrammed] cells therapeutically, whereas...
