	35. 19637 Accesses	Opinion The 'stem cell' concept: is it holding us back? Arthur D Lander Journal of Biology 2009, 8:70 (21 September 2009) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| 2 comments \| Editor’s summary Arthur Lander argues that the molecular definition of a stem cell is a mirage and 'stemness' is an emergent property of cells in their physiological context, so that the current concept is arguably an obstacle to research.
