Vitamin C improves the quality of somatic cell reprogramming

Miguel A Esteban et al. Nat Genet. .

Abstract

The reprogramming of somatic cells to a pluripotent state is prone to errors that could hamper the use of this technology. A new study now shows that vitamin C enhances the quality of somatic cell reprogramming in mice, highlighting the possibility that further manipulation of culture conditions could improve this technology for regenerative medicine.
