Twenty years after the first human pluripotent

potential. Most notably, methods to enable
faithful, homogeneous and scalable
differentiation of PSCs to mature cells are still
lacking. Cellular programming driven by
ectopic expression of transcription factors
(TFs) brings a disruptive strategy to
differentiation. We have developed an
optimised inducible system (OPTi-OX) that
enables homogeneous and tightly controlled
