A 'recipe book' for reprogramming cells into disease-fighting immune cells

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created a library of the 400 factors needed for reprogramming and have begun the work of finding the right combination—the recipe—for each type of immune cell.
