摘要
Human embryonic stem (ES) cells are capable of generating all cell types and tissues of the body. As such they represent an attractive source for therapeutic approaches. However, transplanted cells may be rejected by the immune system. One way to address this problem is to generate patient-specific ES cells. This, however, requires the transformation of the genetic program of somatic cells back to that of an early embryonic state. The field of stem cell research and reprogramming is rapidly evolving. This chapter aims at providing background information to understand some of the most exciting recent developments. Subsequently, the different existing strategies of converting somatic cells into ES-like cells will be reviewed and evaluated.
