MiR-31/SDHA Axis Regulates Reprogramming Efficiency through Mitochondrial Metabolism
Lee MR et al., Stem Cell Reports. 2016 July
Metabolism is remodeled when somatic cells are reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), but the majority of iPSCs are not fully reprogrammed. In a shift essential for reprogramming,
