Can't help it. I like this part:
they have discovered a long-sought "master gene" [the nanog gene] ...
that is largely responsible for giving those cells [the stem cells]
their unique regenerative and therapeutic potential.
Is this the equivalent of old-school NANOGers beating up netmonkeys with a
cluebat? ;-)
