We reprogrammed human foreskin fibroblasts towards beta-like cells via adenovirus-mediated sequential introduction of five transcription factors (Ngn3, Pdx1, Mafa. pax4, Nkx2-2). At day 11 after initi
Skeletal muscle harbors quiescent stem cells termed satellite cells and proliferative progenitors termed myoblasts, which play pivotal roles during muscle regeneration. However, current technology doe
In our study, PRDM14 and NFRkB were found to enhance the reprogramming of human fibroblasts to hiPSCs in the presence of OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, with/without c-MYC (OSK/OSKC). To examnie if the obtained hiP
In urodele amphibians, limb regeneration involves the dedifferentiation of muscle myotubes into single cells that may acquire pluripotent potential. We have employed small molecules (myoseverin and BI
