British and Canadian scientists who are extremely knowledge in the areas of micro-biology, according to the article, have a desire to reprogram a cell back until they were in embryonic form, sort of like what they mentioned in the article, "winding back the clock". Experiments involving the stem cell research process are usually conducted on the test animals for extracting adult cells. Keisuke Kaji in Edinburgh and Andras Nagy in Toronto, says how they did there experiment of reprogramming a cell using a safe technique called electroporation. According to the article, "This allows the scientist to do away with viruses and ferry genes into the cells through pores. Once the genes had done their job, the scientists removed them, leaving the cells healthy and intact".
