Analysis of human and mouse reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells. What is in the plate?

After the hope and controversy brought by embryonic stem cells two decades ago for regenerative medicine, a new turn has been taken in pluripotent cells research when, in 2006, Yamanaka's group reported the reprogramming of fibroblasts to pluripotent cells with the transfection of only four tra...
