An all-in-one, Tet-On 3G inducible PiggyBac system for human pluripotent stem cells and derivatives
Abstract Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offer tremendous promise in tissue engineering and cell-based therapies due to their unique combination of two properties: pluripotency and unlimited proliferative capacity. However, directed differentiation of hPSCs to clinically relevant cell lineages...
