Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are a recent development which has brought a promise of great therapeutic values. The previous technique of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been ineffective in humans. Recent discoveries show that human fibroblasts can be reprogrammed by a transient over expression of a small number of genes; they can ...

Pluripotency of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Abstract Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be generated by forced expression of four pluripotency factors in somatic cells. This has received much attention in recent years since it may offer us a promising donor cell source for cell transplantation therapy. There has been great progress in iPS cell research in the past few years.

An introduction to induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
SummaryRecent landmark studies show that it is now possible to convert somatic cells, such as skin fibroblasts and B lymphocytes, into pluripotent stem cells that closely resemble embryonic stem cells. These induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be generated without using human embryos or oocytes, thus bypassing some of the ethical issues that have ...

A novel -mutated human induced pluripotent stem cell model for understanding -mutated tumors
A missense mutation of the guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha stimulating activity polypeptide 1 ( GNAS ) gene, typically Arg201Cys or Arg201His (R201H/R201C), leads to constitutive activation of the Gsα-cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway that ...

Epigenetic memory in induced pluripotent stem cells, which is related to the somatic cell type of origin of the stem cells, might lead to variations in the differentiation capacities of the pluripotent stem cells.

Absence of Rybp Compromises Neural Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells
Rybp (Ring1 and Yy1 Binding Protein) is a transcriptional regulator and member of the noncanonical polycomb repressive complex 1 with essential role in early embryonic development.

Cryopreservation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have attracted attention as a promising cell source for medical treatment that could replace marrow stromal cells (MSCs) and adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs). These pluripotent cells can be induced in vitro and in vivo to differentiate into various tissues and organs.

Transplantation of induced pluripotent stem cells improves functional recovery in Huntington's disease rat model. [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to determine the functional recovery of the transplanted induced pluripotent stem cells in a rat model of Huntington's disease with use of 18F-FDG microPET/CT imaging.In a quinolinic acid-induced rat model of striatal ...
