Abstract:Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are somatic cells that have been reprogrammed to a pluripotent state and a great source for regenerative medicine. Several types of human somatic and adult stem cells have been reprogrammed into iPS cells, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Recently, human dental pulp has been considered as a valuable alternative source of MSC (hDP-MSC) with excellent proliferation capacity and multilineage differentiation potential. In this study, our objective was to establish iPS ce… Show more
