Generation of disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
4 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Since the concept of reprogramming mature somatic cells to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) was demonstrated in 2006, iPSCs have become a potential substitute for embryonic stem cells (ESCs) given their pluripotency and "stemness" characteristics, which resemble those of ESCs. We investigated to reprogram fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)...
