Stem Cells Just Got Better

 Scientists have now discovered how to completely wipe a cell's memory clean so it can be reprogrammed better.

Stem cells are used to treat a variety of diseases and in the lab have been used to create organoids (small replicas of organs) for study. The new cells don't have the epigenetics associated with the organism, and thus will be easier to reprogram with fewer abnormalities. Lab grown organs may just have become a lot easier.
