Progress in understanding reprogramming to the induced pluripotent state

Open access
Plath, Kathrin, Lowry, William E.·2011·Nature Reviews Genetics

Abstract

Induction of pluripotency by transcription factors has become a commonplace method to produce pluripotent stem cells. Great strides have been made in our understanding of the mechanism by which this occurs — particularly in terms of transcriptional and chromatin-based events — yet only a small part of the complete picture has been revealed. Understanding the mechanism of reprogramming to pluripotency will have important implications for improving the efficiency and quality of reprogramming and advancing therapeutic application of induced pluripotent stem cells. It will also help to reveal the machinery that stabilizes cell identity and to instruct the design of directed differentiation or lineage switching strategies. To inform the next phase in understanding reprogramming, we review the latest findings, highlight ongoing debates and outline future challenges.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
