Direct Reprogramming of Somatic Cells to Functional Gametes in Planarians via a Novel <em>In Vitro</em> Gametogenesis Protocol
2025-09-15
Abstract excerpt
This study establishes a novel and robust protocol for the direct reprogramming of differentiated somatic cells into functional gamete precursors in the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea, bypassing the need for a pluripotent intermediate state. Through a optimized two-phase in vitro gametogenesis (IVG) protocol involving transient low-dose Yamanaka factor exposure followed by a defined germline-commitment cocktail,...
