Pluripotency can be induced in somatic cells by forced expression of POU domain, class 5, transcription factor 1 (OCT3/4), sex determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2), Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), myelocytomatosis oncogene (c-MYC) (OSKM). However, factor-mediated direct reprogramming is generally regarded as an inefficient and stochastic event. Contrary to this notion, we herein demonstrate that most human adult dermal fibroblasts initiated the reprogramming process on receiving the OSKM transgenes. ...[more]
