A new method to reprogram human cells to better mimic embryonic stem cells

https://www.uwa.edu.au/news/Article/2023/August/Scientists-find-way-to-wipe-a-cells-memory-to-reprogram-it-as-a-stem-cell

Summary: Researchers from the University of Western Australia, Monash University, and other institutions have developed a method to reprogram human cells to better mimic embryonic stem cells. The new transient-naive-treatment (TNT) reprogramming technique resets a cell's epigenome, reducing differences between induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells. This breakthrough could significantly advance cell therapies and biomedical research.
