Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Human Disease [PDF]
Two recent studies report the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from patients presenting with a total of eleven different diseases (Park et al., 2008; Dimos et al., 2008). Future differentiation studies using these lines may offer insight on specific disease pathophysiology and aid the design of protective drug therapies.

Electrophysiological properties of human induced pluripotent stem cells
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can self-renew while maintaining their pluripotency. Direct reprogramming of adult somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has been reported. Although hESCs and human iPSCs have been shown to share a number of similarities, such basic properties as the electrophysiology of iPSCs have not been explored.

Requirements for human‐induced pluripotent stem cells
Abstract‘Requirements for Human‐Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells’ is the first set of guidelines on human‐induced pluripotent stem cells in China, jointly drafted and agreed upon by experts from the Chinese Society for Stem Cell Research. This standard specifies the technical requirements, test methods, and instructions for use, labeling, packaging ...

Generation of human androgenetic induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
AbstractIn humans, parthenogenesis and androgenesis occur naturally in mature cystic ovarian teratomas and androgenetic complete hydatidiform moles (CHM), respectively. Our previous study has reported human parthenogenetic induced pluripotent stem cells from ovarian teratoma–derived fibroblasts and screening of imprinted genes using genome-wide DNA ...

Modeling Disease with Human Inducible Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]
Understanding the physiopathology of disease remains an essential step in developing novel therapeutics. Although animal models have certainly contributed to advancing this enterprise, their limitation in modeling all the aspects of complex human disorders is one of the major challenges faced by the biomedical research field. Human induced pluripotent

Derivation and Characterization of human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Cell biology is one of the most rapidly developing branches in modern biology. The most interesting stages in early embryonic development for cell biology are those when a large number of cells are pluripotent. Inner-cell mass of blastocyst can be cultivated in vitro, and these cells are called embryonic stem cells.

Transfecting and Nucleofecting Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]
Genetic modification is continuing to be an essential tool in studying stem cell biology and in setting forth potential clinical applications of human embryonic stem cells (HESCs). While improvements in several gene delivery methods have been described, transfection remains a capricious process for HESCs, and has not yet been reported in human induced ...

Molecular Analyses of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells [PDF]
Recent work from our group and others has argued that human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) generated by the introduction of four viruses bearing reprogramming factors differ from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) at the level of gene expression (Chin et al., 2009). Many of the differences seen were common across independent labs and, at least

Differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells into erythroid cells [PDF]
AbstractDuring the last years, several strategies have been made to obtain mature erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBC) from the bone marrow or umbilical cord blood (UCB). However, UCB-derived hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are a limited source and in vitro large-scale expansion of RBC from HSC remains problematic.

The Bioethics of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells: Will Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells End the Debate? [PDF]
The ethical debate surrounding human pluripotent stem (PS) cell research is mainly due to use of human embryonic stem (ES) cells. It has been suggested by many that human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells would end the debate due to their non-embryonic origin. This review examines the ethical issues surrounding the use of iPS cells and their ES cell
