Abstract

Velychko et al. showed that Oct4 overexpression during reprogramming causes epigenetic changes deteriorating the quality of iPSCs. SKM reprogramming generates iPSCs with equivalent developmental potential to ESCs, as determined by their ability to generate all-iPSC mice through tetraploid embryo complementation.
