Abstract
Provided are chemical inducers of lineage reprogramming (CiLR) which include glycogen synthase kinase inhibitors, TGFβ receptor inhibitors, cyclic AMP agonists or histone acetylators. Also provided is a method of inducing lineage reprograming in a partially or completely differentiated cell of a first type into a cell with characteristics of a second and different lineage. The method includes: contacting a cell with the CiLR for a sufficient period of time to result in reprograming the cell into a modified XEN-like cell which is subsequently programmed into a cell with characteristics of a second and different lineage.
