In the article it revels that they discovered that "embryonic stem cells express large proportions of their genome ( Hebrew University,2008)" by this they have discovered that tissues have specific genes. It is believed that because of this specific gene sequencing it unlocks their secrets to how they function and develop. But once this is gone the ability to understand goes with it. But at that point embryonic stells stand by attentively waiting to transform into what ever tissue the body calls on for it's need.

John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka have been recognised for discovering that embryonic stem cells can change into any tissue types in the human body and how they develop. Because of their studies they changed mature cells into reprogramming and becoming pluripotent stem cells. Because of these discoveries scientist changed there whole out look on disease study and new methods for diagnosing and developing cures medicine etc.
