Figure 1 The schematic illustration of somatic cell reprogramming to induced pluripotent stem cells. Somatic cells are reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem cells through viral or non-viral introduction of exogenous transcription factors or protein transduction. Small molecules can improve reprogramming efficiency and replace certain transcription factors through epigenetic modifications or signalling pathway regulation. 5-AzaC=5-azacytidine; EBNA1=Epstein–Barr nuclear antigen-1; IPS=induced pluripotent stem; SAHA=suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid; TSA=trichostatin A; VPA=valproic acid.
