My understanding is that stem cells are special because they have the potential to turn into any type of specialized cell the body needs, whereas regular cells have already turned into specialized cell types and there's no un-frying the egg, as it were.
Has there been any research on producing stem cells from specialized cells? Or is there something fundamentally impossible about this, akin to producing the original content given only a hash value?
