Thesis Title
Epigenetic events underlying somatic cell reprogramming
Abstract
Although differentiated cells normally retain cell-type-specific gene expression patterns throughout their lifetime, cell identity can sometimes be modified or reversed in vivo by transdifferentiation, or experimentally through...
