Generation of TWO iPSC lines (CRICKi025-A and CRICKi026-A) from healthy donor bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are key components of the bone marrow (BM), providing structural support and paracrine signals that regulate haematopoietic stem cell maintenance, self-renewal and differentiation. However, primary BM MSCs are rare, heterogeneous, and subject to donor variability and have limited ex-vivo expansion capacity, restricting their utility. Here, we describe two human induced pluripotent stem cells lines, CRICKi0025-A and CRICKi0026-A, reprogrammed from adult BM-derived MSCs using non-integrating Sendai virus vectors. Both lines showcase grade-A morphology, are genomically stable, upregulate essential pluripotent markers and can differentiate into the three germ layers. These lines are a well-characterised resource for generating MSCs.
