Development of defective and persistent Sendai virus vector: a unique gene delivery/expression system ideal for cell reprogramming.

TLDR
A novel replication-defective and persistent Sendai virus (SeVdp) vector based on a noncytopathic variant virus, which fulfills all of the requirements for cell reprogramming and for stem cell research is reported.

A decade of transcription factor-mediated reprogramming to pluripotency

TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying transcription factor-mediated reprogramming are still poorly understood; however, several mechanistic insights have recently been obtained, making it more amenable to applications in the fields of regenerative medicine, disease modelling and drug discovery.

Induced pluripotent stem cells — opportunities for disease modelling and drug discovery

TL;DR: How iPSCs are being exploited to illuminate disease pathophysiology, identify novel drug targets and enhance the probability of clinical success of new drugs is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turning straw into gold: directing cell fate for regenerative medicine

TL;DR: Two main approaches to accomplishing cell-replacement therapy are reviewed: in vitro directed differentiation, which is used to push pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic stem cells or induced pluripOTS, through steps similar to those that occur during embryonic development; and reprogramming, in which a differentiated cell is converted directly into the cell of interest without proceeding through a pluripotency intermediate.

Induced pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: This chapter introduces an overview of direct reprogramming with defined factors as well as a special focus on its potentials and challenges.

Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cultures by defined factors.

TL;DR: Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic or adult fibroblasts by introducing four factors, Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, under ES cell culture conditions is demonstrated and iPS cells, designated iPS, exhibit the morphology and growth properties of ES cells and express ES cell marker genes.

Duplexes of 21-nucleotide RNAs mediate RNA interference in cultured mammalian cells

TL;DR: 21-nucleotide siRNA duplexes provide a new tool for studying gene function in mammalian cells and may eventually be used as gene-specific therapeutics.

Pattern Recognition Receptors and Inflammation

TL;DR: The role of PRRs, their signaling pathways, and how they control inflammatory responses are discussed.

Generation of germline-competent induced pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: iPS cells competent for germline chimaeras can be obtained from fibroblasts, but retroviral introduction of c-Myc should be avoided for clinical application.
