Hi all! I recently read an academic paper on an awesome success that scientists had in turning fibroblasts into cardiomyocyte cells. I was blown away at the possibilities in terms of getting a source of heart cells to potentially treat heart attack patients and it got me thinking about other diseases (such as with the liver or kidney).
-- It looks like another study used transcription factors to turn fibroblasts into neural cells. My question to you all is this: if I wanted to experiment with this kind of thing myself, do you know where I could find a list of the transcription factors that lead to various cell types? I apologize for the openness of the question. I'm only a few semesters into a biology degree so I'm afraid I can't be any more precise in the language of my request. I'd love to get a conversation going about this!
