Stem cell plasticity: from transdifferentiation to macrophage fusion
1 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
The past 5 years have witnessed an explosion of interest in using adult-derived stem cells for cell and gene therapy. This has been driven by a number of findings, in particular, the possibility that some adult stem cells can differentiate into non-autologous cell types, and also the discovery of multipotential stem cells in adult bone marrow. These discoveries suggested a quasi-alchemical nature of cells derived...
