PY - 2015 DA - 2015/10/16 TI - Derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells from orangutan skin fibroblasts JO - BMC Research Notes SP - 577 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - Orangutans are an endangered species whose natural habitats are restricted to the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Along with the African great apes, orangutans are among the closest living relatives to humans. For potential species conservation and functional genomics studies, we derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from cryopreserved somatic cells obtained from captive orangutans.
