Introduction
As revolutionary biotechnology, cell reprogramming provides a powerful tool for designing cell fate and function. iPSCs obtained by reprogramming technology and tissue stem cells or tissue cells obtained by lineage reprogramming technology have great clinical applications and have been successfully used in disease modeling, drug discovery, regenerative medicine, and other fields. However, the inefficiency and safety issues of reprogramming have been the bottleneck of their clinical applications.
In recent years, intensive research has been conducted on how to optimize reprogramming methods. Advances in biomaterials and micro/nanotechnology have led to new breakthroughs in improving reprogramming efficiency and quality. Creative Bioarray has combined micro/nanotechnology-engineered biomaterials and cell reprogramming to develop a variety of strategies to improve reprogramming performance in vitro and in vivo. Our researchers have focused on developing delivery strategies, controlling biophysical and biochemical cues, and improving the reproducibility of reprogramming to achieve efficient cellular reprogramming.
