NEW YORK (AP) - Scientists have made ordinary human skin cells take on the chameleon-like powers of embryonic stem cells, a startling breakthrough that might someday deliver the medical payoffs of embryo cloning without the controversy.
Laboratory teams on two continents report success in a pair of landmark papers released Tuesday. It's a neck-and-neck finish to a race that made headlines five months ago, when scientists announced that the feat had been accomplished in mice.
The "direct reprogramming" technique avoids the swarm of ethical, political and practical obstacles that have stymied attempts to produce human stem cells by cloning embryos.

Veterinary scientists in Ukraine are claiming a medical breakthrough. For the first time ever, they've used stem cells extracted from canine liver to cure diseases in dogs.
It took researchers from the Ukrainian city of Kharkov three years to develop the treatment. The breakthrough gives sick dogs who are not responding to traditional treatments a chance to recover.

Culture Protocols Human embryonic stem cells Human ESC are self-renewing, pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass of blastocyst stage human embryos. Human ESC are similar in potential and self renewal capacity to mouse ESC (mESC), although in vivo tests of chimera and germline contribution are not possible in humans. In the absence of feeder fibroblasts, hESC, like mESC, spontaneously differentiate into numerous cell types derived from all three embryonic germ layers (Thomson, 1998; Rubinoff, 2000).
