Abstract excerpt
In the 20 years since human embryonic stem cells, and subsequently induced pluripotent stem cells, were first described, it has become apparent that during long-term culture these cells (collectively referred to as 'pluripotent stem cells' (PSCs)) can acquire genetic changes, which commonly include gains or losses of particular chromosomal regions, or mutations in certain cancer-associated genes, especially TP53....
