METHODS OF GENERATING PLURIPOTENT CELLS FROM SOMATIC CELLS

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods to select for the generation of mouse and human pluripotent stem cells during developmental reprogramming. The methods described herein relate to the selection of induced pluripotent stem cells, i.e., pluripotent stem cells generated or induced from differentiated cells without a requirement for genetic selection. Described herein are particular embodiments for selection of reprogrammed cells based on 1) colony morphology, or 2) X chromosome reactivation in female cells.
