Abstract
Differentiated cells can be reprogrammed to form pluripotent embryonic stem cell-like cells by ectopic expression of four transcription factors. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Liu et al. (2009) demonstrate that a similar transition can be achieved by culturing retinoblastoma-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts in suspension.
