Expression of reprogramming factors such as Sox2, klf4, c-myc, Nanog, LIN28 and Oct4 followed by culture in a MEK inhibitor and a GSK3 inhibitor reprograms tissue cells. The invention provides new uses of these inhibitors, for example in inducing completion of the transcriptional resetting of so-called pre-pluripotent (pre-iPS) stem cells, for example as obtained from mammalian neural stem cells or epiblast stem cells treated with single or combinations of the reprogramming factors, expressed transiently or by integrative vectors. Also provided are systems for reprogramming an epiplast stem cells independently of the use of there inhibitors. |
