Title:
EFFICIENT INDUCTION OF PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS USING SMALL MOLECULE COMPOUNDS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/033906
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The disclosure features a method of producing a reprogrammed cell (e.g. an induced pluripotent stem cell or an undifferentiated cell) from a differentiated (e.g. somatic) cell. In some embodiments, the methods includes contacting a differentiated (e.g. somatic cell) with a TGFBR1 inhibitor or anti-TGF-β-antibody to produce a reprogrammed cell (e.g. pluripotent stem cell or undifferentiated cell). Embodiments of the present invention relate to a reprogrammed cell and methods and compositions for producing a chemically produced reprogrammed cell or populations thereof.
