Embryonic Stem Cells or Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells? A DNA Integrity Perspective
1 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are two types of pluripotent stem cells that hold great promise for biomedical research and medical applications. iPSCs were initially favorably compared to ESCs. This view was first based on ethical arguments (the generation of iPSCs does not require the destruction of an embryo) and on immunological reasons (it is easier to derive patient...
