News - Stimulus-triggered fate conversion of somatic cells into pluripotency
Stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency 01.jpg
"Here we report a unique cellular reprogramming phenomenon, called stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency (STAP), which requires neither nuclear transfer nor the introduction of transcription factors. In STAP, strong external stimuli such as a transient low-pH stressor reprogrammed mammalian somatic cells, resulting in the generation of pluripotent cells." (More?
