Abstract

The production of human somatic cell nuclear transfer embryonic stem cells (ESCs) opens the debate if, in the era of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), the production of these cells is indeed necessary. It is our opinion that these questions are difficult to answer because it is still unclear whether and how normal ESCs differ from iPSCs.
