Abstract
The use of embryonic stem cells promise the development of new therapies which could repair many defective organs in human diseases. If the early embryo can develop using cell nuclei from the patients themselves, many problems with rejection of transplanted tissues could be solved. To do this, the nucleus taken from the patient needs to be `reprogrammed¿. We are studying in the mouse how reprogramming works, and how it can be made more efficient.
