Partial cellular reprogramming in aging mouse brains — a research article examining whether transient Yamanaka-factor expression can reduce ischemic damage and improve recovery.

In Vivo Partial Cell Reprogramming With Yamanaka Factors Reduced Ischemic Brain Damage in Aging Mice
Key Takeaways
  • Transient in vivo expression of a reduced Yamanaka factor set was applied to aging mouse brains.
  • Treated mice showed reduced ischemic brain damage compared with untreated controls.
  • Partial reprogramming improved functional recovery after ischemic injury in aged mice.
