| Abstract | Embryonic stem cell (ESC) technology should enable the generation of specific cell types for the study and treatment of human diseases. Therapeutic cloning provides a way to generate ESCs genetically matched to diseased individuals through nuclear reprogramming of the somatic genome. However, practical and ethical limitations associated with therapeutic cloning are calling for the development of oocyte- and-embryo-free alternatives for obtaining of autologous pluripotent cells for transplantation therapy. An alternative approach to reprogram the somatic genome involves fusion between somatic and pluripotent cells. Potential fusion partners with reprogrmaming activities include embryonal carcinoma cells, embryonic germ cells, and ESCs.Experimental evidence is now available, which demonstrates that mouse and human somatic cells can be reprogrammed by fusion to form pluripotent hybrid cells. Recent progress infusion-based reprogramming is reviewed with reference to the developmenta potency of hybrid cells as well as genetic and epigenetic correlates of reprogramming. However, hybrid cells lack therapeutic potential because of their abnormal ploidy and the presence of nonautologous genes from the pluripotent parent. We discuss the potential of fusion-based reprogramming for the generation of diploid, autologous pluripotent cells using two alternative routes: the enucleation of ESCs and the fusion of such cytoplasts to somatic cell karyplasts or intact somatic cells, and the selective elimination of the pluripotent genome following fusion to the somatic partner. Finally, these approaches are discussed in the light of recent progress showing that overexpression of embryonic transcription factors can restore a state of pluripotency to somatic cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
