Abstract
The establishment of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has
revealed a new path for the generation of stem cells without the use of
embryos. This new approach eliminates ethical concerns and provides an
invaluable contribution to the fi eld of regenerative medicine and stem cell
biology. The direct reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency was fi rst
accomplished in 2006, when Takahashi and Yamanaka converted adult mouse
fi broblasts to iPSCs through ectopic expression of a select group of
transcription factors1. Subsequent reports optimized this technique,
demonstrating that regardless of the gene combination used iPSCs were highly
similar to embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in their morphology, ability to express
cell surface markers typical of pluripotent cells, form viable chimeras, and give
rise to teratomas containing cell types representative of all three germ layers.
