Neuronal transcription factors induce conversion of human glioma cells to neurons and inhibit tumorigenesis.

Recent findings have demonstrated that the overexpression of lineage-specific transcription factors induces cell fate changes among diverse cell types. For example, neurons can be generated from mouse and human fibroblasts. It is well known that neurons are terminally differentiated cells that do no...
