This method was designed to determine the optimal formulation for nucleofection that was capable of meeting or surpassing the established commercial buffer (Amaxa), in particular for murine adipose stem cells. By using this same buffer, we determined that the same formulation yields optimal transfection efficiency in human mesenchymal stem cells.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Our findings suggest that transfection efficiency in human stem cells can be boosted with proper formulation.</p>
