New Technologies To Enhance In Vivo Reprogramming for Regenerative Medicine

Cellular identity and state are determined by a collection of molecular components that are specified during development and stabilized thereafter to maintain and protect tissue functions. Alteration of the molecular elements (gene expression program and chromatin state) as a result of disease or age can induce somatic cells to assume different identities or modulate functions. Therapeutic use of this technique, called 'cellular reprogramming',...
