Description
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be obtained by reprogramming animal or human somatic cells to an embryonic state. iPS cells have been used for drug/toxicology screening and disease modeling, and have potential as a non-controversial stem cell source for patient-specific cellular therapies. This session will review the scientific background, current applications, and future promise of iPS cells.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
- Define induced pluripotency.
- Describe the two general approaches for inducing pluripotency in somatic cells.
- Examine two or three potential somatic cell sources from which iPS cells have been made.
- Identify two diseases where iPS cells have been used to model the disease.
