The Promise and Challenge of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Cardiovascular Applications

The recent discovery of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) has revolutionized the field of stem cells. iPSC have demonstrated that biological development is not an irreversible process and that mature adult somatic cells can be induced to become pluripotent. This breakthrough is projected t...
