Introduction

Daniela Palacios,[1] Sonia Forcales,[3] and Pier Lorenzo Puri[1, 4] 3 Institute of Predictive and Personalized Medicine of Cancer (IMPPC), 08916 Badalona, Spain 4 Sanford-Burnham Institute for Medical Research, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA Correspondence should be addressed to Pier Lorenzo Puri, plpuri@dti.telethon.it Received 7 August 2012; Accepted 7 August 2012 Numerous interdisciplinary approaches that include integration of bioinformatics, epigenetics, and molecular and cellular biology have started to shed light on the complex dynamics that regulate cellular processes such as cell “stemness,” reprogramming, and differentiation.
