Abstract excerpt
The simultaneous overexpression of several transcription factors has emerged as a successful strategy to convert fibroblasts into other cell types including pluripotent cells, neurons, and cardiomyocytes. The selection and screening of factors are critical, and have often involved testing a large pool of transcription factors, followed by successive removal of single factors. Here, to identify a cardiac...
