The present invention generally relates to a method of producing induced mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs) and uses thereof. Inducible mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs), similar to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), can differentiate into multiple lineages, which may be beneficial for the treatment of disease. In addition, the present invention also provides a method of enhancing the functional characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) such that the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are more suitable for cell therapy or in vitro application. |
