Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Adult Human Fibroblasts by Defined Factors
Kazutoshi Takahashi,Koji Tanabe,Mari Ohnuki,Megumi Narita,Tomoko Ichisaka,Kiichiro Tomoda,Shinya Yamanaka +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that iPS cells can be generated from adult human fibroblasts with the same four factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc.

Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells From Adult Human Fibroblasts by Defined Factors
Kazutoshi Takahashi,Koji Tanabe,Mari Ohnuki,Megumi Narita,Tomoko Ichisaka,Kiichiro Tomoda,Shinya Yamanaka +6 more
TL;DR: This work generated induced pluripotent stem cells capable of germline transmission from murine somatic cells by transd, and demonstrated the ability of these cells to reprogram into patient-specific and disease-specific stem cells.
Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells without Myc from mouse and human fibroblasts
Masato Nakagawa,Michiyo Koyanagi,Koji Tanabe,Kazutoshi Takahashi,Tomoko Ichisaka,Takashi Aoi,Keisuke Okita,Yuji Mochiduki,Nanako Takizawa,Shinya Yamanaka +9 more
TL;DR: A modified protocol for the generation of iPS cells that does not require the Myc retrovirus is described and, with this protocol, significantly fewer non-iPS background cells are obtained, and theiPS cells generated were consistently of high quality.

TL;DR: A simple method is reported, using p53 suppression and nontransforming L-Myc, to generate human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with episomal plasmid vectors, which may provide iPSCs suitable for autologous and allologous stem-cell therapy in the future.
Variation in the safety of induced pluripotent stem cell lines
Kyoko Miura,Yohei Okada,Takashi Aoi,Aki Okada,Kazutoshi Takahashi,Keisuke Okita,Masato Nakagawa,Michiyo Koyanagi,Koji Tanabe,Mari Ohnuki,Daisuke Ogawa,Eiji Ikeda,Hideyuki Okano,Shinya Yamanaka +13 more
TL;DR: This study evaluated the teratoma-forming propensity of secondary neurospheres generated from 36 mouse induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell lines derived in 11 different ways, which correlated with the persistence of undifferentiated cells.
