Human pluripotent stem cells such as human embryonic stem cells
(hESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) with their unique
developmental plasticity hold immense potential as cellular models
for drug discovery and in regenerative medicine as a source for
cell replacement. While hESC are derived from a developing embryo,
iPSC are generated with forced expression of key transcription
factors to convert adult somatic cells to ESC-like cells, a process
termed reprogramming. Using iPSC overcomes ethical issues
concerning the use of developing embryos and it can be generated
from patient-specific or disease-specific cells for downstream
applications. Pluripotent Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols
highlights the best methods and systems for the entire work flow.
Divided into four convenient sections, topics include a focus on
producing iPSC from diverse somatic sources, media systems for
expanding ESC and iPSC with detailed protocols for directed
differentiation into specific lineages, commonly used cellular and
molecular characterization methods , and the potential application
of labeled stem cells with specific methods for cloning, gene
delivery and cell engineering. Written in the successful Methods in
Molecular Biology (TM) series format, chapters include
introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary
materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible
protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known
pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Pluripotent Stem
Cells: Methods and Protocols seeks to serve both professionals and
novices with its well-honed methodologies in an effort to further
our knowledge of this essential cellular feature.
