About

    Cell reprogramming is a field of research focused on converting one type of cell into another type of cell by altering its gene expression. This process involves resetting the cell's developmental state to a more primitive, pluripotent state, allowing it to differentiate into various cell types. Cell reprogramming has potential applications in regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and drug discovery. The most well-known method of cell reprogramming is induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, where somatic cells are genetically reprogrammed to resemble embryonic stem cells. Other forms of cell reprogramming include direct lineage conversion and transdifferentiation.
