Bioinformatic Analysis Leads to Gene Combination that Makes Clinical Quality Mouse iPSCs

Adult cells can be de-differentiated so that they resemble embryonic stem cells by genetically engineering them to overexpress particular genes. Such reprogrammed cells are known as induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs, and these cells might have the potential to cure damaged nerves, regrow limbs and organs, and precisely model a patient’s particular disease. Unfortunately, the very process of…
