Fibroblasts that are transfected with Oct4 and Sox2 can be turned into this type of cell.
Fibroblasts that are transfected with Oct4 and Sox2 can be turned into this type of cell. This type of cell gives rise to teratomas, which are particularly frequent in the gonads. Bone marrow transplantation is effective against leukemia because marrow contains hematopoietic cells of this type, which can give rise to common myeloid progenitors. The morula consists exclusively of the totipotent type of these cells. Prior to 2006, embryos were the only human source of pluripotent ones, and thus were a subject of controversy. For 10 points, name these cells that can reproduce themselves and differentiate to form other types of cells.
