The article title is, if not actually misleading, inclined to mislead.

An uninitiated reader might construe this as meaning that the 
researchers more or less created a mouse from scratch. But it's clear 
that that's not what happened. Rather, they've taken a non-stem cell 
from a mouse and created a mouse stem cell from it.
