This 2 minute video ably introduces the basic concepts related to transforming adult body or somatic cells like skin or liver cells to stem cells that are fully pluripotent (Equal to embryonic in terms of plasticity or ability to become multiple cell types) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8370692532177471184&hl=en - Our lab team at Weller did this without using viral vectors. As a result, these iPS are safer than any other induced pluripotent stem cell in existence. Also, they will be ready for human use shortly abroad -- clinical research application in persons with terminal or intractable conditions (Which cannot be said of all other iPS).
