Title of Invention FEEDER-FREE DERIVATION OF HUMAN-INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS WITH SYNTHETIC MESSENGER RNA
Abstract

Disclosed is a kinetically controlled process for creating iPS cells, specifically relating to the use of synthetic mRNA cocktails encoding fusions between reprogramming factors with transactivation domains, e.g. an N-terminal MyoD transactivation domain. Also disclosed are methods for feeder-free and xeno-free derivation of human iPS cells using synthetic messenger RNAs.
