| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It remains unclear whether the reprogramming process shows the opposite direction of the development (differentiated cells → tissue stem cells/progenitor cells → iPS cells). To address this, we investigated the reprogramming process using hair follicles. Some cells transiently exhibited the hair follicle stem cell marker (Lgr5); however, the Lgr5-positive cells were unlike native ones. On the other hand, we found that the Lgr5-positive cells were efficiently converted into iPS cells.
