One of the most promising approaches to replacing sick or damaged cells with healthy cells is cellular reprogramming, whereby one cell type in our body converts to another cell type. Research has uncovered new ways to improve the cellular reprogramming efficiency, unlocking potential for cellular repair therapies.
