Abstract

Skin fibroblasts were collected from a 65-year-old male patient with sporadic Parkinson's disease. Induced pluripotent stem cells were reprogrammed with human reprogramming factors (KMOSL) using the messenger RNA reprogramming protocol. The transgene-free iPSC line showed pluripotency, displayed normal karyotype, and could form embryoid bodies in vitro and differentiate into all 3 germ layers in vivo. This iPSC line can be a useful cellular model for studying the mechanism of Parkinson's disease.
