Generation of two human induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from two juvenile nephronophthisis patients with NPHP1 deletion.

TL;DR: Human induced pluripotent stem cell lines, derived from two Juvenile nephronophthisis patients, were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells by episomal plasmid vectors and carried a large deletion in NPHP1 (Nephrocystin 1) gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of candidate PAX2-regulated genes implicated in human kidney development.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that key human PAX2-dependent kidney development genes are differentially expressed in nephron progenitor cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in patients with RCS relative to healthy individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Artificial acceleration of mammalian cell reprogramming by bacterial proteins

TL;DR: The results raise the possibility that xenospecific gene products provide an alternative way to study the regulatory mechanism of cell identity, and show a proof of concept that xenOSpecific genes can affect the efficiency of cell reprogramming to pluripotency.
