Your main point is that iPSCs are from the existing stem cell in cells we used. But there are several lines of evidences against your proposal:

(2) we can observe dramatic epigenetic changing during the early phase of iPSCs production (refers to the recent Cell paper addressing the role of TrxG in ESCs maintenance).

Actually, the mechanism of iPSCs is much clear now. What we do is just to diminish the epigenetic barriers existing in adult cells. And then the several pluripotent factors work to maintain its stemness, either in the way of ground state model or the new proposed precarious model. You can refer to a new article from John Gurdon's group on G & D, and see why even actin contributes to stemness/reprogramming. |
