Another team of scientists, led by David Russell at the University of Washington, came up with the same results as Markus Grompe and his team. They found evidence of cells fusing together when they grafted bone-marrow stem cells into mice with a different liver disorder.
Two independent teams, two different experiments - but the same surprising finding. That's enough to make the scientific world sit up and take notice.
