I find that sometimes you are misleading in your terminology and do not know if this is from lack of expertise or a desire to make findings appear more astounding and get more readers. For example, in this article they have found a way to turn on/off genes in GPCs but your introduction to the article makes it sound like this will work for all stem cells. In other articles the use of stem cell type is also reserved for farther into the text. and This can make it look like embryonic research is at the root of all these successes, which is far from true.
