While most factors used as reprogramming transgenes can be replaced by other means, Oct4 has remained essential until now. Three recent papers have now broken this barrier through the use of opposing lineage specifying transgenes and chemical modulation, thus signifying a milestone in advancing our understanding of pluripotency induction.
虽然大多数作为重编程转基因的因素可以通过其他方法替代,但直到现在,Oct4 仍然是必不可少的。最近的三篇论文通过使用相反的谱系指定转基因和化学调节打破了这一障碍,从而标志着在推进我们对多能性诱导的理解方面迈出了重要的一步。
