| abstract |
The present invention provides a reprogramming method for dedifferentiating differentiated somatic cells into stem-like cells. A cell having stem cell characteristics, particularly pluripotency, by introducing RNA encoding a factor that induces somatic cell dedifferentiation into a somatic cell, culturing the somatic cell, and dedifferentiating the cell. A method for achieving somatic cell dedifferentiation. The method wherein the RNA is derived from an undifferentiated cell, and the undifferentiated cell is an embryonic stem cell or an adult stem cell. [Selection figure] None |
