Use of RNA for Reprogramming Somatic Cells

The present invention provides methods for de-differentiating somatic cells into stem-like cells without generating embryos or fetuses. More specifically,-the present invention provides methods for effecting the de-differentiation of somatic cells to cells having stem cell characteristics, in particular pluripotency, by introducing RNA encoding factors inducing the de-differentiation of somatic cells into the somatic cells and culturing the somatic cells allowing the cells to de-differentiate.
