Abstract:Cellular reprogramming of committed cells into a pluripotent state can be accomplished by ectopic expression of genes such as OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and MYC. However, during reprogramming, it has been verified that failures of reactivating endogenous genes and epigenetic remodelling lead to partially reprogrammed cells exhibiting features similar to those of fully reprogrammed cells. In this study, partially reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem cells (pre-iPSC) were derived from porcine fetal fibroblasts via drug-… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
