New research suggests that laboratory-created stem cells might not be a solution to all the ethical problems created by stem cells from embryos, as many as hoped.
Yang Xu, professor of molecular biology, and colleagues at the University of California, San Diego, in a paper published Friday in the prestigious British journal Nature find that so-called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generate an immune response causing a mouse to reject them even when the iPSCs are made from the cells of that same mouse.

Back to square one. Looks like those that were so excited about using an individual's own stem cells have their hope dashed again.
Like I said before, there was a lot of misunderstanding around here regarding pluripotent stem cells. The rejection factor is not absent with pluripotent stem cells.
