  • METHODS OF REPROGRAMMING A CELL
    Publication number: 20220403343
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for producing an induced pluripotent stem (iPSC), the method comprising the following steps in order: culturing a somatic cell in a first culture condition adapted to promote the reprogramming of the cell towards a pluripotent state; culturing the cell in a second culture condition adapted to promote a hypomethylated DNA state in the cell; and culturing the cell in a third culture condition adapted to promote a primed pluripotent state, thereby producing an iPSC from a somatic cell. The invention also relates to cells and compositions resulting from those methods.

  • Epigenomic induced pluripotent stem cell signatures
    Patent number: 9428811
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of characterizing the epigenetic signature of human induced pluripotent stem cells. The methods are useful in identifying human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), diagnostic markers for incomplete hiPSCs reprogramming, and characterization of the efficacy of different reprogramming techniques.

    Assignee: Salk Institute for Biological Studies
    Inventors: Ronald M. Evans, Joseph R. Ecker, Ryan Lister
  • Petroleum bioconversion of organic acids to prevent refinery corrosion
    Patent number: 8980620
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of microorganisms (biocatalysts), or catalysts derived from these organisms (enzymes), to improve the quality of crude oil and bitumen as an attractive alternative to current upgrading methods. The invention identifies and characterizes the microorganism species, in particular, N. muscorum (UTEX 2209) and Kocuria rhizophilia (ATCC533), that have the capability to biochemically convert organic acids into chemical species that do not possess corrosive properties.
