(wikipedia iPSC) ===(en)=== (en-noun)- The fact that only a small fraction of cells infected with the reprogramming factors form iPSC colonies indicates that direct reprogramming is a stochastic process.
- One of the most promising routes in this regard is the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC ) by reprogramming cells.
- ECs Derived from ESC and iPSC
- [...] the propensity of stem cells to form teratoma following transplantation is still another major obstacle in using iPSC for disease therapy.
