  2. stem cell
    an undifferentiated cell whose daughter cells may differentiate into other cell types (such as blood cells)

  4. embryonic

    The method uses cells from a patch of a person's skin and transforms it into blood that is a genetic match, without using human embryonic stem cells, said the study in the journal Nature.
