Journal ArticleDOI

An Efficient Nonviral Method to Generate Integration-Free Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Cord Blood and Peripheral Blood Cells†‡§

TL;DR: A modified protocol enabling efficient iPSC induction from CD34+ cord blood cells and from peripheral blood isolated from healthy donors using these plasmid vectors is reported, which enabled the establishment of blood‐derived iPSCs from seven healthy donors ranging in age from their 20s to their 60s.
Journal ArticleDOI

Directed and Systematic Differentiation of Cardiovascular Cells From Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

TL;DR: The differentiation properties of iPS cells are almost completely identical to those of ES cells, which would greatly contribute to a novel understanding of i PS cell biology and the development of novel cardiovascular regenerative medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human iPS cell-derived dopaminergic neurons function in a primate Parkinson’s disease model

TL;DR: This preclinical study using a primate model indicates that human iPS cell-derived dopaminergic progenitors are clinically applicable for the treatment of patients with PD.
