Abstract

Somatic cells from animals and humans can be reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells by pluripotency factors. Hongkui Deng and colleagues discovered that pluripotency can also be induced with exogenous lineage specifiers via balancing competing differentiation forces. In a related study they achieved, for the first time, restoration of pluripotency in adult somatic cells using a chemical cocktail alone.
