This stress was enough to make the cells pluripotent in as little as 30 minutes. Not only that they were more malleable than the ips cells developed back in 2006.

I would have thought never external stress could have this effect. The idea came from another biologist at the same facility Haruko Obokata who says it took her five years to persuade her colleagues that this technique would work.

The work ties into Obokata's other research into stress. As explained on her lab's web page All organisms possess instincts to survive exposures to external stresses by adapting to their environment and to some degree regenerating injured tissues or organs.

The team constructed a unique cell that clamps a multiferroic barium cobalt germanium oxide (Ba2coge2o7) crystal between a pair of zirconium oxide pistons (Fig. 1). They then investigated how the sample electric polarization changed under uniaxial stress.

In contrast, by deforming the Ba2coge2o7 crystal with varying levels of uniaxial stress, the researchers could tune the polarization output in unprecedented ways, from fully on to fully off,

because they show we can control the spin-driven ferroelectricity in this compound by applying uniaxial stress at the low megapascal level,
