Dermal fibroblast by homologous recombination, and redirected these pluripotent cells toward the hematopoietic lineages, and transplanted these engineered cells to a lethally irradiated mice." The animals which received the fibroblast stem cell treatment exhibited increased activity levels, indicating recovery from the disorder.
