Abstract excerpt
This review is focused on recent advances in fusion-based reprogramming of cells of different pluripotent statuses or lineage origins. Recent findings are discussed from standpoints of both the developmental potency of hybrid cells generated by fusion of pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells, embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells, and somatic cells and epigenetic mechanisms and other aspects involved in the...
