The fusion experiments by Tada, Surani and colleagues
clearly showed that ES cells and embryonic germ cells
contain factors that can induce reprogramming and pluripotency
in somatic cells*.
Before 2006, the prevailing view was that nuclear reprogramming
to a pluripotent state is a highly complex process that might entail
the cooperation of up to 100 factors**.

The generation of iPS cells from adult human dermal fibroblasts
with the same four factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc.
Human iPS cells were similar to human embryonic stem (ES) cells
in morphology, proliferation, surface antigens, gene expression,
epigenetic status of pluripotent cell-specific genes, and telomerase
activity. Furthermore, these cells could differentiate into cell types
of the three germ layers in vitro and in teratomas.
These findings demonstrate that iPS cells can be generated from
adult human fibroblasts.

Up to 10% of transduced mouse embryonic fibroblasts lacking
p53 became iPS cells, even without the Myc retrovirus. The p53
deletion also promoted the induction of integration-free mouse
iPS cells with plasmid transfection.
Furthermore, in the p53-null background, iPS cells were
generated from terminally differentiated T lymphocytes. The
suppression of p53 also increased the efficiency of humaniPS
cell generation.

Shinya Yamanaka, Professor of Kyoto University,
won the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award in 2009.
Often referred to as “America’s Nobel,”
the Lasker Award is one of the most prestigious scientific awards.
