Generation and characterization of erythroid cells from human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells : an overview [PDF]
Because of the imbalance in the supply and demand of red blood cells (RBCs), especially for alloimmunized patients or patients with rare blood phenotypes, extensive research has been done to generate therapeutic quantities of mature RBCs from ...

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.

CCL2 enhances pluripotency of human induced pluripotent stem cells by activating hypoxia related genes [PDF]
Standard culture of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) requires basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) to maintain the pluripotent state, whereas hiPSC more closely resemble epiblast stem cells than true naïve state ES which requires LIF to ...

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 ...

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.

Suv4-20h abrogation enhances telomere elongation during reprogramming and confers a higher tumorigenic potential to iPS cells [PDF]
Reprogramming of adult differentiated cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) cells has been achieved by over-expression of specific transcription factors.

Notch promotes neural lineage entry by pluripotent embryonic stem cells [PDF]
A central challenge in embryonic stem (ES) cell biology is to understand how to impose direction on primary lineage commitment. In basal culture conditions, the majority of ES cells convert asynchronously into neural cells.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells at Nanoscale [PDF]
Reprogramming of mouse and human somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has been made possible with the expression of the transcription factor quartet Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4. Here, we compared iPS cells derived from mouse embryonic fibroblasts with the 4 factors to embryonic stem cells by electron microscopy.
