Epigenetic changes to human umbilical cord blood cells cultured with three proteins indicate partial reprogramming to a pluripotent state.

Abstract excerpt

We have previously reported the existence of a subpopulation of cells from human umbilical cord blood capable of differentiating into oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, bone, muscle, and endothelial cells despite their origins as CD45-positive cells. These stem cells (called FSFl cells) arise only after a period in vitro in medium containing FGF4, SCF, and Flt-3 ligand (FSFl medium) during which they express the...
