iPS cells: insights into basic biology

Cell. 2009 Aug 21;138(4):616-8. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2009.08.012.

Abstract

The discovery that adult somatic cells can be induced to become pluripotent by overexpression of a few key transcription factors provides an exciting new window into the basic biology of pluripotency and differentiation.
