Early Reprogramming Intermediates Enable Direct Neuronal Conversion via NGN2

Silvia Angiolillo, Wei Qin, Alessia Gesualdo, Roberta Frison, Nicola Elvassore, Cecilia Laterza, Onelia Gagliano

This study shows that human fibroblasts can be converted into neurons via NGN2 overexpression after partial reprogramming for 3 days, identifying intermediate cell states that influence conversion efficiency.
