The stem cells were taken from mice most of the way along toward full development for birth. Those cells really can't be differentiated from "adult stem cells".

The researchers said they wanted to pick them up a little bit earlier in the life cycle and then work them through to what amounts to an adult status ~ just as it happens.

They are attempting to avoid working with celltypes (embryonic stem cells) that cause cancer.

They weren't stem cells.

They can easily be differientiated from "adult stem cells" as these were differentiated and adult stem cells are NOT differentiated.
