Urine cells (or renal tubular cells) can be isolated from human urine samples efficiently. This noninvasive and cost-effective method to collect biological sample provide us favorable access to donor cells from human. In the present study, we generate ZZUNEUi022-A, a urine cells-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, from a 29-year-old healthy male via Sendai virus delivery system. ZZUNEUi022-A showed stable karyotype, and could differentiate into three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) readily in an embryoid body formation model.
