Silencing of the lncRNA Zeb2-NAT facilitates reprogramming of aged fibroblasts and safeguards stem cell pluripotency

The efficiency of somatic cell reprogramming is lowered by ageing. Here the authors show that the transcription factor Zeb2 and its long non-coding RNA Zeb2-NAT are expressed at high levels in older fibroblasts and their inhibition increases reprogramming efficiency.
