05:00Results: Epigenetically Erased Cells Encapsulated in PTFE Micro-Bioreactors Show High Level and Long-term Maintenance of Pluripotency-Related Gene Expression
We here present a method that combines the use of chemical epigenetic erasing with mechanosensing-related cues to efficiently generate mammalian pluripotent cells, without the need of gene transfection or retroviral vectors. This strategy is, therefore, promising for translational medicine and represents a notable advancement in stem cell organoid technology.
