CytoTune(TM)-iPS Reprogramming Kit can accelerate research using cells programmed
to serve as models for human disease.
CARLSBAD, Calif.
, June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ ? Life Technologies
Corporation today announced the launch of CytoTune(TM)-iPS Reprogramming Kit ?
research technology that provides far improved efficiency over standard methods to
develop induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from human somatic cells.
The
ability to more easily create larger numbers of these embryonic stem cell-like
cells can expedite basic research and studies that target specific diseases.
Widely accepted methods for turning adult skin cells, for example, into iPSCs
involve benign virus vectors that are used to deliver reprogramming genes.
The
process, however, is woefully inefficient (reprogramming efficiency rates for
standard methods range b
