Radio Electric Conveyed Fields Directly Reprogram Human Dermal Skin Fibroblasts toward Cardiac, Neuronal, and Skeletal Muscle-Like Lineages

Somatic cells can be directly reprogrammed to alternative differentiated fates without first becoming stem/progenitor cells. Nevertheless, the initial need for viral-mediated gene delivery renders this strategy unsafe in humans. Here, we provide evidence that exposure of human skin fibroblasts to a...
