GENOMIC PLASTICITY

Directly turning a differentiated cell into a pluripotent cell would be beneficial for producing isogenic replacement cells. It would also present societal benefits by eliminating the use of cells of embryonic or fetal origin. Altering cell fate involves a reprogramming of nuclear function. We ha...
