The direct reprogramming of a terminally differentiated cell into another lineage using defined combinations of factors has fundamentally changed traditional concepts of the inalterability of differentiated cells. Many studies have achieved direct conversion into various cell types in recent years, and this strategy is considered to be a promising approach for inducing functional cells. Here, we review work on direct reprogramming, from the early pioneering studies to the most recent, including the discovery of novel reprogramming factors, molecular mechanisms, and strategies. We also discuss the applications of direct reprogramming and the perspectives and challenges of this novel technology.

Follicular adenoma is a benign encapsulated tumor with evidence of follicular cell differentiation. It is the most common thyroid neoplasm, usually solitary and has a well-defined fibrous capsule. We experienced a case of follicular adenoma occurring in congenital goiter and reported with the brief review of related literature

microRNAs are a class of short non-coding RNAs containing about 19-22 nucleotides that regulate target gene expression through post-transcriptional repression or mRNA degradation, and involved in a variety of biological processes, such as cellular differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. microRNA-182 (miR-182), belonging to miR-183/96/182 cluster that consists of miR-182, -183, and -96, highly expresses in many cells and tissues, including osteoblasts, lymphocytes, adipocytes, retina, inner ear, etc. The recent studies of miR-182 highlighted its multiple important roles in differentiation, development, and functional maintenance in the cells and tissues. The dysregulation of miR-182 is associated with occurrence and development of many diseases, such as retinopathy, autoimmune diseases, cancers, obesity and diabetes. This review summarizes recent research progresses on the roles and mechanisms of miR-182 in cellular function and diseases.
