X Abstract

The recent years have seen great advances in reversal of programming of differentiated somatic cells towards pluripotency by methods not involving nuclear transfer. Some of these may present a first step on the way to individual-based cell therapy without the problems connected to collection of mammalian unfertilised oocytes. Although differentiation of cells involves complex genetic and epigenetic changes, it is now possible to generate cells with many properties of pluripotent embryonic stem cells by retroviral transduction of differentiated cells with only four transcription factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. The re-programmed cells contribute to live chimeric mice and are transmitted via the germline.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
