Reprogramming somatic cells using the Sendai virus technology: ISSCR 2014 – Dr. Laurence Daheron

The Sendai virus, used in commercially available kits like the CytoTune® iPS 2.0 Reprogramming Kit, has been shown to be a highly efficient method to reprogram somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells. In this video from the Life Technologies innovation showcase at ISSCR 2014, Dr. Laurence Daheron of Harvard Stem Cell Institute discusses the advantages of using non-integrating reprogramming technologies like Sendai virus for effectively transducing a variety of cells.
