Reprogramming Cells into iPSCs
Description
Induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs, are made by reprogramming mature somatic cells back into an undifferentiated state. These cells behave like embryonic stem cells in culture. Under the right growth conditions, they can then be directed to become different cell types.
This makes iPSCs an i...

Transcript
Induced pluripotent stem cells, like human embryonic stem cells, can differentiate into almost any cell in the body, and therefore hold great promise in the field of regenerative medicine.
Human embryonic stem cells, or hESCs, are obtained from pre-implantation embryos, whereas fully differentiated somatic cells are ...
