    Cell Fusion-Mediated Nuclear Reprogramming of Somatic Cells

    Epigenetic reprogramming of nuclei from differentiated to pluripotent state can be induced by three experimental approaches: nuclear transfer, cell fusion, and transduction of transcription factors. In cell fu...

    Generation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Human Amnion Cells

    Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have been generated through nuclear reprogramming of somatic cells via retrovirus- or lentivirus-mediated transduction of exogenous reprogramming factors OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, a...

    Familiarity and Prudence of the Japanese Public with Research into Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, and Their Desire for its Proper Regulation

    The lack of knowledge of current public attitudes towards basic research into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is a serious problem when considering appropriate ways of governance regarding research and ...

    Target chromosomes of inducible deletion by a Cre/inverted loxP system in mouse embryonic stem cells

    Chromosomal deletions are widely involved in serious genetic diseases and in the pathogenesis of cancers. These deletions often generate loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of one of the alleles of a tumor suppressor...

    Nuclear Reprogramming

    Nuclear reprogramming is an intriguing phenomenon, in which specialized somatic cells reacquire pluripotency through the global resetting of epigenetic modifications without changes occurring to their nuclear ...
