1. A method for reprogramming a differentiated cell to a less differentiated state, the method comprising:
(a) providing the differentiated cell;
(b) culturing the differentiated cell; and
(c) transfecting the differentiated cell with one or more synthetic RNA molecules,
wherein the one or more synthetic RNA molecules include at least one RNA molecule encoding one or more reprogramming factors comprising a DNA-binding protein; and
wherein the transfecting results in the cell expressing the one or more reprogramming factors to result in the cell being reprogrammed to the less differentiated state; and
wherein step (c) is performed not in the presence of irradiated fibroblast feeder cells and occurs in the presence of a medium containing ingredients that support reprogramming of the differentiated cell to the less differentiated state.
