Cell reprogramming of somatic cells into pluripotent states and subsequent differentiation into certain phenotypes has helped progress regenerative medicine research and other medical applications. Recent research has used viral vectors to induce this reprogramming; however, limitations include low efficiency and safety concerns. In this review, we discuss how biomaterial methods offer potential avenues for either increasing viability and downstream applicability of viral methods, or providing a safer alternative. The use of non-viral delivery systems, such as electroporation, micro/nanoparticles, nucleic acids and the modulation of culture substrate topography and stiffness have generated valuable insights regarding cell reprogramming. Improving cell reprogramming methods is vital to regenerative medicine efforts. This review discusses advances in reprogramming using biomaterial approaches.
