Summary | We had founded protocols to reprogram somatic cells, like blood cellsfibroblasts, to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) with the four factors, Oct4, Sox2, Klf4,c-Myc. iPSC was first reported by the Nobel Prize winner, Shinya Yamanaka,have the pluripotency to differentiate to cells derived from all the germ layers. Therefore, we developed protocols to differentiate iPSC to retinal |
