Gingival Fibroblasts as a Promising Source of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
14 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells efficiently generated from accessible tissues have the potential for clinical applications. Oral gingiva, which is often resected during general dental treatments and treated as biomedical waste, is an easily obtainable tissue, and cells can be isolated from patients with minimal discomfort. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We herein demonstrate iPS cell generation...
