The slow kinetics and low efficiency of reprogramming methods to generate human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) impose major limitations on their utility in biomedical applications. Here we describe a chemical approach that dramatically improves (>200 fold) the efficiency of iPSC generation from human fibroblasts, within seven days of treatment. This will provide a basis for developing safer, more efficient, non-viral methods for reprogramming human somatic cells.
iPSCs的慢动力学和低效率限制了其在
生物医学应用中的实用性。在这里,我们描述了一种
化学方法,可以在处理7天内,显著提高(>200倍)从人类成纤维细胞生成iPSC的效率。这将为开发更安全、更有效、非病毒的人体体细胞重编程方法提供基础。
