CELLULAR REPROGRAMMING USING TEMPORAL AND TRANSIENT PLASMID VECTOR EXPRESSION SYSTEM

摘要

Provided are methods and compositions for inducing the reprogramming of a non-pluripotent to an iPSC having desirable properties using a vector system providing transient and temporal expression of transgenes that are short-lived. Also provided are reprogramming cells and iPSC populations or clonal cell lines using the provided reprogramming methods and compositions. Further provided are genome-engineered iPSCs and derived cells redifferentiated therefrom to comprise targeted editing involving insertions and deletions in one or more selected genomic loci.
