Cellular Metabolism and Induced Pluripotency
The discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) a decade ago, which we are celebrating in this issue of Cell, represents a landmark discovery in biomedical research. Together with somatic cell nuclear transfer, iPSC generation reveals the remarkable plasticity associated with differentiated cells and provides an unprecedented means for modeling diseases using patient samples. In additio...
متن کاملEpigenetic reprogramming and induced pluripotency.
The cloning of animals from adult cells has demonstrated that the developmental state of adult cells can be reprogrammed into that of embryonic cells by uncharacterized factors within the oocyte. More recently, transcription factors have been identified that can induce pluripotency in somatic cells without the use of oocytes, generating induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. iPS cells provide a ...
متن کاملInduced pluripotency leapfrogs ahead.
S omatic cells derived from differentiated tissues can be reprogrammed back to a pluripotent state. However, multiple barriers exist to prevent such extreme dedifferentiation from occurring in vivo, which explains the inefficient induction of pluripotency by ectopic coexpression of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (OSKM) in somatic cells. In PNAS, Ganier et al. (1) report a method that uses frog egg...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of induced pluripotency
Growing knowledge concerning transcriptional control of cellular pluripotency has led to the discovery that the fate of differentiated cells can be reversed, which has resulted in the generation, by means of genetic manipulation, of induced pluripotent stem cells. Overexpression of just four pluripotency-related transcription factors, namely Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (Yamanaka factors, OKSM...
متن کاملInduced Pluripotency for Translational Research
The advent of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has revolutionized the concept of cellular reprogramming and potentially will solve the immunological compatibility issues that have so far hindered the application of human pluripotent stem cells in regenerative medicine. Recent findings showed that pluripotency is defined by a state of balanced lineage potency, which can be artificially ins...
