It is probably not a coincidence that the single celled creature they
used for this was an ancient flagellate. They were the first living
things to actually have a viable protein motor of sorts and a whip tail
which gave them their name.
Last common ancestor still with genes close enough to work in a mammal.
There may well be fungi or slime moulds similarly capable of this trick.

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.
