First of all, they aren't "creating" anything. What they're doing, is fooling one type of cell, into believing it's another.

Secondly, this is old news. The Japanese have been doing this for quite a while, and they're very successful at it. Most of the Orient, in fact, is years ahead of the US in genetic research at this point, thanks to things like the "ethical" considerations that impose laws and limit research funds for US scientists.

The Japanese have done some very significant work in this area, for instance recently they succeeded in converting mesenchymal cells into liver cells, and these "fooled" cells don't know or care whether they're attached to a real liver, so they can just inject them directly into the bloodstream. When this is done to mice with liver disease, the converted cells remove excess ammonia from the bloodstream and the mice become very much healthier within 24 hours. That's pretty amazing, and it's very significant for things like hepatitis and cirrhosis.

Yes indeed - the Orient seems to have a lot more money for this type of research, than we do. Funny thing, that - don't you think?
