Abstract

Background: iPSCs retain marks of their donor population: "somatic donor memory," which facilitates iPSC differentiation back into their original tissue. Results: Specific microRNAs maintain their expression in HPC-derived iPSCs promoting their differentiation back to HPCs. Conclusion: miRNA contributes to iPSC somatic donor memory. Significance: miRNA donor memory may offer a tool to understand iPSC reprogramming and differentiation toward a particular somatic population.
