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.

Pluripotency of induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Recent studies have demonstrated that differentiated somatic cells from various mammalian species can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by the ectopic expression of four transcription factors that are highly expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells.

Disease-Specific Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]
Tissue culture of immortal cell strains from diseased patients is an invaluable resource for medical research but is largely limited to tumor cell lines or transformed derivatives of native tissues. Here we describe the generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from patients with a variety of genetic diseases with either Mendelian or complex ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells are induced pluripotent stem cell-like cells [PDF]
Gold is rare and precious, while pyrite (FeS2) is abundant and cheap. Pyrite is nicknamed fool's gold, since pyrite looks like gold and it is even shinier and brighter than gold. It is very difficult to recognize the differences between a real natural gold and a gold-like rock (pyrite) to non-professional persons[1], but we know that all that glitters ...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Hormesis [PDF]
This paper represents the first assessment of agent-induced hormetic dose responses in induced pluripotent stem cells and their derived cells. The hormetic dose responses were induced by a broad range of chemicals, including pharmaceuticals (eg, metformin), dietary supplements/extracts from medicinal plants (eg, curcumin), and endogenous agents (eg ...

Chromatin structure of pluripotent stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells are specialized cells with a dynamic chromatin structure, which is intimately connected with their pluripotency and physiology. In recent years somatic cells have been reprogrammed to a pluripotent state through over-expression of a defined set of transcription factors.

Transgene Reactivation in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Derivatives and Reversion to Pluripotency of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells [PDF]
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have enormous potential in regenerative medicine and disease modeling. It is now felt that clinical trials should be performed with iPSCs derived with nonintegrative constructs. Numerous studies, however, including those describing disease models, are still being published using cells derived from iPSCs generated ...

Restoring Ureagenesis in Hepatocytes by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Genomic Addition to Arginase-deficient Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. [PDF]
Urea cycle disorders are incurable enzymopathies that affect nitrogen metabolism and typically lead to hyperammonemia. Arginase deficiency results from a mutation in Arg1, the enzyme regulating the final step of ureagenesis and typically results in ...
