Transcriptional factors are introduced into adult cells for induced pluripotent stem cell creation using a modified virus that inserts the necessary genes into the cell's DNA.
This card explains that transcriptional factors are introduced into adult cells for iPSC creation by infecting them with a modified virus carrying genes for these factors.
| Front | How can transcriptional factors be introduced in adult cells in the process of making Induced pluripotent stem cells |
|---|---|
| Back | Infecting the adult cells using a specially modified virus. The virus has genes coding for the transcriptional factors within its DNA When the virus infect the adult cell, these genes are passed into the adult cells DNA meaning that the cell is able to produce the transcriptional factors |
