Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Reprogramming of cancer cells to stem cell-like state provides a promising tool for the study of cancer pathogenesis and drug screening. However, most instances of direct reprogramming have been achieved by forced co-expression of defined transcription factors using viral vectors. Retroviral transduction as well as the ectopic expression of reprogramming factors may alter the differentiation potential of...
