METHOD FOR INDUCING TAILORED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS USING EXTRACT OF PLANT STEM CELLS OR PLANT DEDIFFERENTIATED STEM CELLS, AND PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS PRODUCED BY MEANS OF THE METHOD

摘要

A method for inducing tailored pluripotent stem cells by reprogramming differentiated cells of an adult by using an extract of plant stem cells and plant dedifferentiated stem cells (callus); pluripotent stem cells produced by means of the method; and a cell therapy agent comprising the pluripotent stem cells are disclosed. It is possible to overcome ethical problems since eggs are not used in the making of pluripotent stem cells having abilities like embryonic stem cells. It is possible to produce pluripotent stem cells of ensured safety because a plant stem cell extract which above all has been verified to be harmless to the body is used. It is possible to develop an immunocompatible cell therapy agent tailored to different individuals.
