The authors wish to alert readers that one of the reports on which this News & Views was based, ‘Pluripotency of mesenchymal stem cells derived from adult marrow’, has been retracted. Some of the comments in this News & Views that rely on the accuracy and reproducibility of the data in that report should therefore be reconsidered.
