Direct conversion of mouse embryonic fibroblasts into functional keratinocytes through transient expression of pluripotency-related genes
(2016)The insufficient ability of specialized cells such as neurons, cardiac myocytes, and epidermal cells to regenerate after tissue damage poses a great challenge to treat devastating injuries and ailments. Recent studies ...

The Ink4/Arf locus is a barrier for iPS cell reprogramming
(2009)The mechanisms involved in the reprogramming of differentiated cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by the three transcription factors Oct4 (also known as Pou5f1), Klf4 and Sox2 remain poorly understood. The ...

A p53-mediated DNA damage response limits reprogramming to ensure iPS cell genomic integrity
(2009)The reprogramming of differentiated cells to pluripotent cells (induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells) is known to be an inefficient process. We recently reported that cells with short telomeres cannot be reprogrammed to ...

Telomeres Acquire Embryonic Stem Cell Characteristics in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
(2009)Telomere shortening is associated with organismal aging. iPS cells have been recently derived from old patients
