1. A method for therapeutic reprogramming comprising:
- isolating a human adult stem cell;
contacting said human adult stem cell with a medium comprising stimulatory factors which induce development of said stem cell into a therapeutically reprogrammed cell;
recovering said therapeutically reprogrammed cell from said medium.

Abstract
Methods for therapeutically programming human adult stem cells into pluripotent cells are provided. Cell therapeutically programmed from adult testicular cells are disclosed. The therapeutically reprogrammed cells are suitable for cellular regenerative therapy and have the potential to differentiate into more committed cell lineages.
