METHOD FOR EFFICIENT PRODUCTION OF INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS UTILIZING CELLS DERIVED FROM GINGIVAL FIBROBLASTS

摘要

A main object of the present invention is to provide a technique to produce iPS cells with less burden on the patient and with high establishment efficiency. iPS cells can be efficiently produced with significantly improved establishment efficiency by selecting cells derived from oral mucosa and introducing, into the cells, reprogramming factors capable of inducing the cells into pluripotent stem cells.
