Generation of iPSCs Using Sendai Virus Vectors

Methods Mol Biol. 2024;2794:121-140. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3810-1_11.ABSTRACTInduced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are in vitro-derived cells capable of giving rise to several different cell types. The generation of iPSCs holds great promise for regenerative medicine and drug discovery research because it allows mature cells to be reprogrammed into a state of pluripotency. These highly versatile cells can then be induced to produce a variety of cell lineages and tissues by activating specific regulatory genes that drive their differentiation along distinct lineages. The great potential of these cells was recognized by Shinya Yamanaka who was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize for the discovery of iPSCs. Following their discovery, various methods have now been developed for generating iPSCs. Here, we describe a method for deriving iPSCs from human dental pulp using Sendai virus vectors.PMID:38630225 | DOI:10.1007/978-1-0716-3810-1_11
