Generation and characterization of transgene-free human induced pluripotent stem cells and conversion to putative clinical-grade status
26 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The reprogramming of a patient's somatic cells back into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) holds significant promise for future autologous cellular therapeutics. The continued presence of potentially oncogenic transgenic elements following reprogramming, however, represents a safety concern that should be addressed prior to clinical applications. The polycistronic stem cell cassette (STEMCCA),...
