The mighty mice prove pluripotency for iPSCs.
نویسنده
چکیده
By injecting induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into tetraploid blastocysts to generate live pups, two groups in China demonstrated that the injected cells are as pluripotent as embryonic stem cells, i.e. capable of giving rise to every cell in the newborn mice. This achievement validates iPS technology for regenerative medicine.

Differentiated cells can change to embryonic stem cells by reprograming. Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has revolutionized the field of regenerative and personalized medicine. iPSCs can self-renew and differentiate into many cell types. iPSC cells offer a potentially unlimited source for targeted differentiation. Through the expression of a set of transcription factors, iP...
متن کاملGeneration of disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
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 rheumat...

Finding the markers to predict the quality of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) will accelerate its practical application. The fully pluripotent iPSCs has been determined as viable all-iPSC mice can be generated through tetraploid (4N) complementation. The activation of the imprinted Dlk1-Dio3 gene cluster was reported to correlate with the pluripotency of iPSCs. However, recent studies de...
متن کاملI-11: Dedifferentiation of Mouse Fibroblast Cells by Chemical Induction
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated by ectopic expression of four transcription factors have great promises for regenerative medicine in humans. Since the initial report of iPSCs by viral transfection, ample efforts have been made in the generation of iPSCs through nonviral approaches. Small molecules offer the advantages of low cost without genomic modification and have been used ...
متن کاملNanog Is Dispensable for the Generation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Cellular reprogramming from somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be achieved through forced expression of the transcription factors Oct4, Klf4, Sox2, and c-Myc (OKSM) [1-4]. These factors, in combination with environmental cues, induce a stable intrinsic pluripotency network that confers indefinite self-renewal capacity on iPSCs. In addition to Oct4 and Sox2, the homeodom...
