Abstract

Tumorigenesis and attendant safety risks are significant concerns of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based therapies. Thus, it is crucial to evaluate iPSC proliferation, differentiation, and tumor formation after transplantation. Several approaches have been employed for tracking the donor cells, including fluorescent protein and luciferase, but both have limitations. Here, we introduce a protocol using iRFP genetic labeling technology to track tumor formation of iPSCs in skeletal muscle after CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing.
