Replacing sick or damaged cells with healthy cells: this is a major goal of regenerative medicine. One of the most promising approaches is cellular reprogramming, whereby one cell type in our body converts to another cell type. Researchers have discovered new ways to improve the cellular reprogramming efficiency, unlocking potential for cellular repair therapies.
