Direct Reprogramming of Rat Neural Precursor Cells and Fibroblasts into Pluripotent Stem Cells
23 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Given the usefulness of rats as an experimental system, an efficient method for generating rat induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells would provide researchers with a powerful tool for studying human physiology and disease. Here, we report direct reprogramming of rat neural precursor (NP) cells and rat embryonic fibroblasts (REF) into iPS cells by retroviral transduction using either three (Oct3/4,...
