Cell Reprogramming: Mirage or Reality?

Seyed Hadi Anjamrooz

Scientists should be in the service of science, not just in the service of humanity. Unfortunately, however, many researchers in the fields of regenerative medicine and cyto-therapy seem to have discriminated between scientific facts such as the efficiency and deficiency of reprogramming by concentrating their efforts mainly on the low efficiency of reprogramming while paying less attention to its high deficiency rate. This biased factualism has blurred some important aspects of cell behaviour. Additionally, any fascinating fact about cell behaviour may not actually be true and may be a mirage of the enchanting dance of the cell information content.
