Terminally differentiated cells can be generated by lineage reprogramming,which is,however,hindered by incomplete conversion with residual initial cell identity and partial functionality. Here, we demonstrate a new re...
Germ cells are the only cell type in the body that can transfer genetic information to the next generation. Germline-competent stem cells can self-renew and contribute to the germ cell lineage giving rise to pluripote...

Although gene therapy was regarded as a promising approach for glioma treatment,its therapeutic efficacy was often disappointing because of the lack of efficient drug delivery systems.Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) have...
Dear Editor, Ever since the creation of induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) from adult somatic cells by the ectopic expres- sion of defined transcription factors [1, 2], whether iPS cells are equivalent to embryonic st...
