Introduction: Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are considered as a seminal breakthrough in stem cell research and are promising for the development of advanced regenerative therapies. Considering the potential of this technology for both basic and clinical research, it is tempting to extend this research to important livestock species, such as cattle, in which ES cell lines are yet not available.Materials and methods: Here, we describe a non-viral me...
