CDKN2B upregulation prevents teratoma formation in multipotent fibromodulin-reprogrammed cells.

A novel, protein-based reprogramming method that does not require genome integration or oncogene activation to yield multipotent fibromodulin (FMOD)-reprogrammed (FReP) cells from dermal fibroblasts is established and it is shown that the decreased tumorigenicity of FReP cells was directly related to an upregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B) expression during the FMOD reprograming process.

Generation of pluripotent stem cells without the use of genetic material

What types of small chemical or large (protein) molecules could be used to replace the viral transduction of genes and/or genetic reprogramming to obtain human iPSCs are discussed.

Brief Azacytidine Step Allows The Conversion of Suspension Human Fibroblasts into Neural Progenitor-Like Cells

This work provides a simple way to induce neural progenitor-like cells from human fibroblasts without genetic manipulation by changing physicochemical culture properties from monolayer culture into a suspension in the presence of a chemical DNA methyltransferase inhibitor agent, Azacytidine.

Pluripotency maintenance of amniotic fluid-derived stem cells cultured on biomaterials.

Surprisingly, hAFSCs that showed higher pluripotency on PVA hydrogels grafted with oligopeptides derived from fibronectin and vitronECTin also expressed higher levels of early differentiation markers for three germ layers in expansion medium, suggesting that hAF SCs are heterogeneous and that this population contains highly pluripotent stem cells and stem cells that can be easily differentiated.

Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells from dermal fibroblasts

Methods to use dermal fibroblasts easily obtained from an individual human to generate human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by ectopic expression of the defined transcription factors KLF4, OCT4, SOX2, and C-MYC are described.

Induction of pluripotent stem cells from primary human fibroblasts with only Oct4 and Sox2

Valproic acid (VPA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, enables reprogramming of primary human fibroblasts with only two factors, Oct4 and Sox2, without the need for the oncogenes c-Myc or Klf4, and supports the possibility of reprograming through purely chemical means.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells without Myc from mouse and human fibroblasts

A modified protocol for the generation of iPS cells that does not require the Myc retrovirus is described and, with this protocol, significantly fewer non-iPS background cells are obtained, and theiPS cells generated were consistently of high quality.
