Funded Activity Summary

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be made by reprogramming adult cells. These cells can become any cell type in the human body. We can now create patient specific cells that may restore function in patients and not be rejected by their immune system. However, current methods for making iPSCs are slow, inefficient and have some safety concerns. This project aims to overcome these issues by using new chemical entities to reprogram cells that may be used for tissue repair and regeneration.
