Efficient and rapid generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from human keratinocytes
Aasen et al. boost the efficiency of human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell generation 100-fold by starting with keratinocytes rather than fibroblasts. They also produce iPS cells from plucked adult hair, an e...
