Methods for reprogramming cells and uses thereof

A method of obtaining a pancreatic multipotent or unipotent cell including providing a cell of a first type which is not a pancreatic multipotent or unipotent cell; contacting the cell of a first type with an agent capable of remodeling the chromatin and/or DNA of the cell; transiently increasing ex...

Zusammenfassung:A method of obtaining a pancreatic multipotent or unipotent cell including providing a cell of a first type which is not a pancreatic multipotent or unipotent cell; contacting the cell of a first type with an agent capable of remodeling the chromatin and/or DNA of the cell; transiently increasing expression of at least one pancreatic multipotent or unipotent gene regulator in the cell of a first type, to a level at which the at least one pancreatic multipotent or unipotent gene regulator is capable of driving transformation of the cell of a first type into the pancreatic multipotent or unipotent cell; and placing or maintaining the cell in a pancreatic cell culture medium and maintaining intracellular levels of the at least one pancreatic multipotent or unipotent gene regulator for a sufficient period of time to allow a pancreatic multipotent or unipotent cell to be obtained.
