Introduction

Cellular reprogramming tools can manipulate cell identity, enabling the generation of desired cell types that provide broad applications in disease modeling, drug discovery and regenerative medicine. Chemical reprogramming approach synergistically targets cell signaling pathways and epigenetic modifiers without gene manipulation, and offers considerable advantages for the development of pharmacological and therapeutic strategies. Recently, a new scalable, efficient, and rapid chemical reprogramming approach was reported, which can induce human somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells (Guan, J et al., Nature, 2022; Liuyang, S et al., Cell Stem Cell, 2023). This kit, optimized from a patent in filing (METHODS FOR CHEMICAL REPROGRAMMING AND PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS, PCT/CN2022/124960) and publication (Liuyang, S et al., Cell Stem Cell, 2023), can be used to generate human chemically induced pluripotent stem cell (hCiPSCs) from human adult adipose-derived stromal cells (hADSC) or skin dermal fibroblasts (HDFs).

Storage Conditions

The kit is shipped on dry ice.
