Link to article? (I think it's the right one)<p><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0011373" rel="nofollow">http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjourna...</a><p><i>These T-cell derived iPSCs (“TiPS”) retain a normal karyotype and genetic identity to the donor. They share common characteristics with human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) with respect to morphology, pluripotency-associated marker expression and capacity to generate neurons, cardiomyocytes, and hematopoietic progenitor cells. Additionally, they retain their characteristic T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements, a property which could be exploited for iPSC clone tracking and T-cell development studies.</i>
Yes, this is really cool. But it is an improvement on earlier techniques: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_pluripotent_stem_cell" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_pluripotent_stem_cell</a>
So is anything not "hacking" anymore? Or can we just use that verb for anything?<p>If so then I'm hacking pretty hard in this comment section right now.
