                      KOBE, Japan - Photo shows Haruko Obokata, a scientist at Riken Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, wearing an apron given to her by her grandmother at its laboratory in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, on Jan. 28, 2014. A team of scientists led by Obokata has discovered, in research conducted by scientists at the state-backed Riken institute and Harvard University, that by simply exposing body cells to acidic liquids, the cells can be reprogrammed to grow into any type of mature tissue. They named the method of generating pluripotent cells, or cells that can grow into any type of mature tissues in the body, "stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency," or STAP. The discovery was announced in the Jan. 30, 2014 issue of Nature.
