Mechanistic insights into reprogramming to induced pluripotency
13 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be generated from various embryonic and adult cell types upon expression of a set of few transcription factors, most commonly consisting of Oct4, Sox2, cMyc, and Klf4, following a strategy originally published by Takahashi and Yamanaka (Takahashi and Yamanaka, 2006, Cell 126: 663-676). Since iPS cells are molecularly and functionally similar to embryonic stem (ES) cells,...
