209 Overexpression of WAVE1 activates pluripotency-related genes in porcine somatic cells

Despite extensive efforts, cellular reprogramming in livestock species has had limited success. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) have been established; however, these cells often show incomplete reprogramming status, and constitutive expression of exogenous reprogramming factors is required due to inactivation of endogenous pluripotency-related genes. A previous study reported that overexpression of the Xenopus egg-derived WAVE1 gene...
