Summary:
Researchers describe the steps they took to manipulate DNA and proteins
-- essential building blocks of life --
to create cells that look and act like cells from the body.
This accomplishment, a first in the field,
has implications for efforts in regenerative medicine,
drug delivery systems and diagnostic tools.

Seems almost like electronic design, no limits ;-)
