Human Menstrual Blood-Derived Mesenchymal Cells as a Cell Source of Rapid and Efficient Nuclear Reprogramming
10 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were originally generated by forced ectopic expression of four transcription factors genes-OCT4, KLF4, SOX2, and c-MYC-in fibroblasts. However, the efficiency of iPSCs obtention is extremely low, and reprogramming takes about 20 days. We reasoned that adult cells showing basal expression of core embryonic stem (ES) cell regulator genes could be a better cell source for...
