Abstract
Replying to: K. Ko et al. Nature 465, 10.1038/nature09089 (2010)
Ko et al.1 challenge our description of human adult germline stem cells (haGSCs)2, indicating that we have instead cultured testis fibroblasts. However, they do not follow the experimental procedures we describe2 and so fail to reproduce our findings.
