Context:
This paper, in tandem with a previous study by Wu published in February in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, helps to recast a scientific debate over the relative benefits of embryonic stem cells as compared with iPS cells, or induced pluripotent stem cells, which can be created from a person's own skin or other cells.
Well, yes, sort of . . . recast does not axiomatically mean re-ignite. Recast means to cast again, in the sense of to form again. It is often used with the sense of presenting something in a better manner.
"He objected that my thesis was poorly written, so i recast it in simpler, more easily understood terms."
