Recent studies have reported that fibroblasts or differentiated pluripotent cells can be reprogrammed with transcription factors ( TFs ) into cells with hematopoietic potential. A study published in Cell now suggests that committed blood precursors may provide a source for blood stem cell transplantation after reprogramming (Riddell et al , 2014). The authors report that a combination of eight TFs reprogram murine committed blood progenitors into long‐term engrafting and serially transplantable hematopoietic stem cells with a molecular signature similar to their endogenous counterparts.
