Figure 5. A conceptual diagram that illustrates the potential applications of the control kernel.

Figure 5

The nodes of the control kernel can be used as reprogramming factors that improve the efficiency of the cellular reprogramming, regardless of the heterogeneity of the initial cellular states (a). The control kernel can also be used for developing a novel therapeutic strategy in such a way that the pathogenic network state is perturbed to return to the normal attractor (b).
