Cellular fate conversion via transcription factor programming
- Molecular classification
- Transcription factor
01
Overview
Cellular fate conversion via transcription factor programming refers to the process of inducing direct lineage conversion of cells by enforced expression of lineage-determining transcription factors. Rather than using extrinsic growth factors or morphogens, this approach employs specific combinations of transcription factors to activate a new transcriptional network in somatic cells, enabling efficient reprogramming into desired cell types such as neurons, cardiomyocytes, or hematopoietic stem cells. Advances have highlighted the potential for regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and cell therapy, but also underscored challenges such as incomplete conversion and safety risks. The phrase does not denote a discrete molecular target, but a suite of engineered approaches centered on transcriptional regulation to alter cell fate.
