Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Many neurodegenerative diseases are progressive, complex diseases without clear mechanisms or effective treatments. To study the mechanisms underlying these diseases and to develop treatment strategies, a reliable in vitro modeling system is critical ...

DNA repair in human pluripotent stem cells is distinct from that in non-pluripotent human cells. [PDF]
The potential for human disease treatment using human pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), also carries the risk of added genomic instability.

Cell reprogramming modelled as transitions in a hierarchy of cell cycles [PDF]
We construct a model of cell reprogramming (the conversion of fully differentiated cells to a state of pluripotency, known as induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs) which builds on key elements of cell biology viz. cell cycles and cell lineages. Although reprogramming has been demonstrated experimentally, much of the underlying processes governing ...

A pathologist's perspective on induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology was originally developed in 2006. Essentially, it converts somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells by transiently expressing a few transcriptional factors. Once generated, these iPSCs can differentiate into all the cell types of our body, theoretically, which has attracted great attention for clinical ...

Integration-free induced pluripotent stem cells from related human donors’ exhibit great potential to the ongoing development of organ models. Blood cells from two different human donors were isolated, purified and reprogrammed into induced pluripotent ...

Pluripotency, differentiation, and reprogramming: A gene expression dynamics model with epigenetic feedback regulation [PDF]
Characterization of pluripotent states, in which cells can both self-renew and differentiate, and the irreversible loss of pluripotency are important research areas in developmental biology. In particular, an understanding of these processes is essential to the reprogramming of cells for biomedical applications, i.e., the experimental recovery of ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can self-renew indefinitely in culture and differentiate into all specialized cell types including gametes. iPSCs do not exist naturally and are instead generated (“induced” or “reprogrammed”) in culture from ...

Objectives: To establish a straightforward single-cell passaging cultivation method that enables high-quality maintenance of human induced pluripotent stem cells without the appearance of karyotypic abnormalities or loss of pluripotency.

A mathematical modelling framework for the regulation of intra-cellular OCT4 in human pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have promising clinical applications in regenerative medicine, drug-discovery and personalised medicine due to their potential to differentiate into all cell types, a property know as pluripotency. A deeper understanding of how pluripotency is regulated is required to assist in controlling pluripotency and ...

Probing sporadic and familial Alzheimer’s disease using induced pluripotent stem cells
Our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis is currently limited by difficulties in obtaining live neurons from patients and the inability to model the sporadic form of the disease.
