Abstract

A series of five related publications describe an alternative pluripotent state that is dependent on continuous high levels of exogenous reprogramming factor expression. A comprehensive effort to molecularly compare the acquisition of this state to induced pluripotency aims at providing new insights into the mechanisms underlying cellular reprogramming.
