Japanese scientists were able to create pluripotent stem cells (IPS), a type of stem cell that is similar to embryonic stem cells. The researchers were then able to grow heart and brain cells from these stem cells. Choose the statements that explain the similarities and differences of iPS cells and
embryonic stem cells.
