Reprogramming of Skeletal Myoblasts for Induction of Pluripotency for Tumor-Free Cardiomyogenesis in the Infarcted Heart

Abstract

Successful reprogramming was achieved in SMs with ES cell-like microRNA profile. Given the tumorgenic nature of SiPS, their predifferentiation into cardiomyocytes would be important for tumor-free cardiogenesis in the heart.
