Effects of histocompatibility and host immune responses on the tumorigenicity of pluripotent stem cells
3 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
Pluripotent stem cells hold great promises for regenerative medicine. They might become useful as a universal source for a battery of new cell replacement therapies. Among the major concerns for the clinical application of stem cell-derived grafts are the risks of immune rejection and tumor formation. Pluripotency and tumorigenicity are closely linked features of pluripotent stem cells. However, the capacity to...
