Abstract
The present invention provides a method for producing customized pluripotent stem cells. Specifically, the present invention comprises following steps: extracting proteins from any of the dedifferentiated stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells, the said dedifferentiated or pluripotent stem cells being prepared by any known method; introducing the protein extract into the adult somatic cells; and culturing the adult somatic cells to produce pluripotent stem cells having the same pluripotency as that of embryonic stem cells. In addition, pluripotent stem cells produced according to the present method and cell therapeutics comprising the same are provided. The method allows pluripotent stem cells to be produced very easily and at a significantly higher yield, compared to typical methods.
