Abstract
Why is reprogramming to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) a protracted and inefficient odyssey? In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Mor et al. (2018) hypothesize that reprogramming factors paradoxically activate and inhibit pluripotency gene expression and show that eliminating Gatad2a (a NuRD corepressor complex subcomponent) rapidly and efficiently reprograms multiple cell types into iPSCs.
