Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine: An Argument for Continued Research on Human Embryonic Stem Cells
1 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can be induced to differentiate into a wide range of tissues that soon could be used for therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine. Despite their developmental potential, sources used to generate human ESC lines raise serious ethical concerns, which recently prompted efforts to reprogram somatic cells back to a pluripotent state. These efforts resulted in the generation...
