CHAPTER

Transformations in Stem Cell Research

This chapter explores the evolutionary mechanisms of adult pluripotent stem cells, focusing on significant transcription factors like SOX and POU. It challenges previous beliefs by showcasing a study where SOX proteins from unicellular organisms successfully reprogrammed mouse somatic cells, revealing profound implications for our understanding of stem cell evolution and cellular functions. The discussion also highlights discrepancies between traditional signaling assumptions in stem cell cultures and actual human embryonic development, stirring questions about the validity of existing embryo models.
