Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells From Adult Human Fibroblasts by Defined Factors

TLDR
This work generated induced pluripotent stem cells capable of germline transmission from murine somatic cells by transd, and demonstrated the ability of these cells to reprogram into patient-specific and disease-specific stem cells.
Abstract
If it were possible to reprogram differentiated human somatic cells into a pluripotent state, patient-specific and disease-specific stem cells could be developed. Previous work generated induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells capable of germline transmission from murine somatic cells by transd

Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Adult Human Fibroblasts by Defined Factors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that iPS cells can be generated from adult human fibroblasts with the same four factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells without Myc from mouse and human fibroblasts

TL;DR: A modified protocol for the generation of iPS cells that does not require the Myc retrovirus is described and, with this protocol, significantly fewer non-iPS background cells are obtained, and theiPS cells generated were consistently of high quality.

Disease-Specific Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

TL;DR: The generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with a variety of genetic diseases with either Mendelian or complex inheritance are described, offering an unprecedented opportunity to recapitulate both normal and pathologic human tissue formation in vitro, thereby enabling disease investigation and drug development.

CAS9 transcriptional activators for target specificity screening and paired nickases for cooperative genome engineering.

TL;DR: This system is engineer to enable RNA-guided genome regulation in human cells by tethering transcriptional activation domains either directly to a nuclease-null Cas9 protein or to an aptamer-modified single guide RNA (sgRNA).

Differentiation of embryonic stem cells to clinically relevant populations: lessons from embryonic development.

TL;DR: The potential to generate virtually any differentiated cell type from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) offers the possibility to establish new models of mammalian development and to create new sources of cells for regenerative medicine, but it is essential to be able to control ESC differentiation and to direct the development of these cells along specific pathways.

Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Blastocysts

TL;DR: Human blastocyst-derived, pluripotent cell lines are described that have normal karyotypes, express high levels of telomerase activity, and express cell surface markers that characterize primate embryonic stem cells but do not characterize other early lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

New cell lines from mouse epiblast share defining features with human embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: It is shown that cell lines can be derived from the epiblast, a tissue of the post-implantation embryo that generates the embryo proper, and interrogated to understand how pluripotent cells generate distinct fates during early development.

Clonally Derived Human Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Maintain Pluripotency and Proliferative Potential for Prolonged Periods of Culture

TL;DR: The clonal derivation of two human ES cell lines, H9.1 and H.2, demonstrates the pluripotency of single human ES cells, the maintenance of pluripOTency during an extended period of culture, and the long-term self-renewing properties of cultured human ES Cells.

Neurotechnique Induction of Midbrain Dopaminergic Neurons from ES Cells by Stromal Cell-Derived Inducing Activity

TL;DR: In this article, an efficient system for in vitro differentiation of mouse ES cells without use of either retinoic acid or embryoid vitro neural differentiation in a serum- bodies was introduced. But this method requires neither EBs nor RA treat- phogen in Xenopus.
