Full reprogramming of cells occurs in the early embryo, driven by Yamanaka factor expression, the factors used often abbreviated to OSKM. It turns adult germ cells into embryonic stem cells, resetting epigenetic patterns and restoring mitochondrial function. Researchers have replicated this process to produce induced pluripotent stem cells from any adult cell sample. Partial reprogramming is intended to expose cells to Yamanaka factor expression for long e…
