title: Stem cell potential: can anything make anything?
abstract: Recent results suggest that stem cells from one tissue can give rise to cells from developmentally unrelated tissues. These results strongly support the idea that certain progenitors retain much broader developmental potentials than expected, and other progenitors may be able to acquire broader potentials in culture.
