However, the role of PRC2 in lineage-committed somatic cells is mostly unknown.
2
Transposable elements in the genome are generally silenced in differentiated somatic cells.
3
Interestingly, the bioenergetics of various somatic cells correlated with their reprogramming efficiencies.
4
Cloning from adult somatic cells has been successful in at least ten species.
5
Telomerase activity is repressed in almost all normal human somatic cells.
6
Fertilized mouse zygotes can reprogram somatic cells to a pluripotent state.
7
REST expression was higher in PGCs than in surrounding somatic cells.
8
These findings suggest that DJ-1 has functions in both somatic cells and sperm.
9
Ectopically expressed Haspin was detected exclusively in the nuclei of cultured somatic cells.
10
Still others carry out new body functions not yet assumable by untailored somatic cells.
11
However, telomere length also influences senescence in proliferative somatic cells and varies between individuals.
12
Cancers originate from somatic cells in the human body that have accumulated genetic alterations.
13
Similarly, iPS are somatic cells obtained from patients and differentiated into hepatocytes in vitro.
14
Differentiated somatic cells can be reprogrammed into totipotent embryos through somatic cell nuclear transfer.
15
However, questions remain unanswered as to how heritable information can be passed from somatic cells.
16
Cloning by nuclear transfer from adult somatic cells is a remarkable demonstration of developmental plasticity.
