كفاءة توليد وتحرير إيبسكس تغذية خالية من خلايا البنكرياس البشرية باستخدام نظام كريسبر-Cas9

Overview

This protocol describes the generation of footprint-free induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from human pancreatic cells in feeder-free conditions, followed by editing using CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins and characterization of the modified single-cell clones.
