Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for cellular reprogramming, healing and repairing for therapeutic applications by removal of the cytoplasm from the cell, collecting the cytoplasm together to form a bath of cytoplasm and then immersing one or more somatic cells into the cytoplasm bath. Alternatively, the collection of cytoplasm can be injected or mixed in with a collection of somatic cells. This is dramatically different form all other approaches were transfer of cytoplasm and/or nucleus is performed by injection from one cell directly into another cell through varies methods. This method of immersing mammalian cells into a cytoplasm environment in particular a plutipotent stem cell cytoplasm environment has many potential uses.
