The National Institutes of Health defines induced pluripotent stem cells as somatic (adult) cells reprogrammed to enter an embryonic stem cell–like state by being forced to express factors important ...

A woman in her 80s has become the first person to be successfully treated with induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. A slither of laboratory-made retinal cells has protected her eyesight ...

1 Now, researchers can differentiate reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into any cell type and use them for numerous applications, including disease research, drug development, and ...

These research strategies include identifying and using new methods to differentiate or mature human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into the specific mesoderm subset of cells that display ...
