Method of producing human pluripotent stem cells by somatic cell nuclear transfer

Summary This is a method for producing patient-matched histocompatible pluripotent stem cells (PSC’s) by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Technology Overview Pluripotent stem cells only naturally exist in early human embryos. The current methods produce experimental pluripotent stem cells (PSC’s) using the patient’s own skin...
