Much progress has been made in the field of cell reprogramming, and multiple epigenetic and genetic regulators or reprogramming factors have been used for cellular reprogramming, such as TFs in protein form, synthetic TFs, exosomal plasmids, mini-circle DNA, microRNA (miRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), small molecules and CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing tools. Researchers proposed that the use of an optimal delivery system could improve the differences in reprogramming efficiency and reproducibility that may result from different reprogramming factors. The development of safe and effective delivery systems is therefore critical to enable and enhance cell reprogramming.
Current cell reprogramming delivery models include biological, physical and chemical delivery systems. The selection of an appropriate approach among the various is paramount in successful reprogramming using specific reprogramming factors. Based on various drug and gene delivery strategies developed for genome editing, tissue engineering and disease treatment, researchers at Creative Bioarray have developed a variety of efficient delivery systems for cell reprogramming.

Development Services
To safely and effectively deliver reprogramming factors and drive the robust translation of reprogramming therapies, we have developed multiple novel delivery systems to overcome the numerous barriers associated with reprogramming efficiency, safety, quality, and controllability.
- Gene Transfer/Expression Systems of Reprogramming
- Physical Delivery Systems of Reprogramming
- Chemical Delivery Systems of Reprogramming
We have developed a variety of gene transfer/expression systems including Sendai virus, mRNA and episomal plasmids to help our customers efficiently introduce exogenous factors into various mammalian somatic cells.
We have developed physical delivery systems including electroporation and mechanical disruption to help customers deliver reprogramming factors directly into the nucleus or cytoplasm of cells.
We have developed several chemical-based nanocarriers including lipid nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles and inorganic/hybrid nanoparticles for delivery of reprogramming factors.
