CYT296(CAT: I040948) is a chromatin de-condensation compound that promotes an open chromatin state, enhancing the induction of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from somatic cells. By facilitating the reprogramming of Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs) using defined factors (OSKM), CYT296 significantly improves somatic cell reprogramming efficiency. Its ability to modify chromatin structure makes it a valuable tool for cell replacement therapies and drug screening research. This compound is particularly relevant to research in regenerative medicine and stem cell biology, offering potential applications in the fields of Neurological Disease Research and metabolic disease therapies.
