Change history

  • 02 January 2018

    In the version of this News and Views article originally published, an erroneous hyphen was included in the term ‘human-induced pluripotent stem cells’; it should have read ‘human induced pluripotent stem cells’. This error has now been corrected in all versions of the News and Views article.
