Explore and request access to available collections of cell line models of Down syndrome, including induced pluripotent stem cells
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from urine-derived renal epithelial cells or white blood cells using a cocktail of mRNAs encoding six reprogramming factors (a modified version of Oct4 fused with the MyoD transactivation domain (called M3O), Sox2, Klf4, cMyc, Lin28A, and Nanog) along with the reprogramming mimic miRNAs -367 and -302 to reprogram cells.
