HIGHLY-EFFICIENT MANUFACTURING METHOD OF INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS AND INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS PRODUCED BY THE METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing personalized pluripotent stem cells having the same differentiation potency as embryonic stem cells, which comprises the following steps: preparing protein extracts separated from various types of undifferentiated stem cells induced through a variety of methods (induced Pluripotent Stem cells, iPS); infusing the extracts into adult cells; and deriving pluripotent stem cells having the same differentiation potency as embryonic stem cells by culturing the adult cells infused with the extracts. In addition, the present invention relates to pluripotent stem cells produced by the method and cell therapy products that include pluripotent stem cells. In comparison to conventional manufacturing methods for pluripotent stem cells, the method of the present invention allows pluripotent stem cells to be produced with ease and remarkably high efficiency.
