The Temporal and Hierarchical Control of Transcription Factors-Induced Liver to Pancreas Transdifferentiation
4 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Lineage-specific transcription factors (TFs) display instructive roles in directly reprogramming adult cells into alternate developmental fates, in a process known as transdifferentiation. The present study analyses the hypothesis that despite being fast, transdifferentiation does not occur in one step but is rather a consecutive and hierarchical process. Using ectopic expression of Pdx1 in human liver cells, we...
