Researchers Generate Functional Neurons From Engineered Stem CellsScienceDaily (Feb. 25, 2009) — In a new study, researchers were able to generate functionally mature motor neurons from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which are engineered from adult somatic cells and can differentiate into most other cell types.A potential new source of motor neurons that does not require human eggs or
