A mouse embryo injected with cells made pluripotent through stress?

Does "A mouse embryo injected with cells made pluripotent through stress, tagged with a fluorescent protein" mean "(Scientist) first make cells pluripotent by stress, and then injected the cells into a mouse embryo, and the cells were tagged/marked by a fluorescent protein"?

Context:

A mouse embryo injected with cells made pluripotent through stress, tagged with a fluorescent protein.
In 2006, Japanese researchers reported1 a technique for creating cells that have the embryonic ability to turn into almost any cell type in the mammalian body — the now-famous induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. In papers published this week in Nature2, 3, another Japanese team says that it has come up with a surprisingly simple method — exposure to stress, including a low pH — that can make cells that are even more malleable than iPS cells, and do it faster and more efficiently.

Yes.

Thank you Mister Micawber.
Can you see the purpose of injecting the cells into a mouse embryo? For comparison of these induced stem cells and the embryonic stem cells?

Sorry, I am not an embryologist or physiologist. I just do grammar.
