Title: Innovations by Cesar A Sommer in Stem Cell Research
Introduction
Cesar A Sommer is an accomplished inventor based in Jamaica Plain, MA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of stem cell research, particularly through his innovative patent related to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. His work has the potential to advance medical science and therapeutic applications.
Latest Patents
Cesar A Sommer holds a patent for a "Single lentiviral vector system for induced pluripotent (iPS) stem cells derivation." This invention is based on the discovery that a single lentiviral vector expressing multiple individual transcription factor proteins from a single multi-cistronic mRNA can effectively reprogram fibroblast cells into stem cell-like cells. The reprogrammed iPS cells exhibit pluripotency, which is crucial for various applications in regenerative medicine. The addition of Cre-LoxP sequences into the lentiviral vector allows for the excision of the vector after successful reprogramming. Furthermore, incorporating a marker gene into the vector facilitates the detection of its presence in iPS cells. This invention provides valuable compositions and methods for producing iPS cells using a single multi-cistronic lentiviral vector.
