Technical Challenges in Using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells to Model Disease

Reprogramming of human somatic cells uses readily accessible tissue, such as skin or blood, to generate embryonic-like induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This procedure has been applied to somatic cells from patients who are classified into a disease group, thus creating “disease-specific” iPSC...
