Human Endometrial Cells Express Elevated Levels of Pluripotent Factors and Are More Amenable to Reprogramming into Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
5 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
The human endometrium is a tissue with remarkable plasticity and regenerative capacity. Additionally, endometrial cells can be retrieved using minimally invasive procedures, which makes them an ideal source for reprogramming into a pluripotent state. Endometrial cells were obtained from donors in their fifth decade and reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells using retroviral transduction with SOX2,...
