What are pluripotent stem cells used for?
Answers
The discovery in 2006 that human and mouse fibroblasts could be reprogrammed to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with qualities remarkably similar to embryonic stem cells has created a valuable new source of pluripotent cells for drug discovery, cell therapy, and basic research.
Our stem cell research products have been an integral part of induced pluripotent stem cell research research from the initial discovery of iPSCs to current breakthroughs. Our broad technology platform provides optimized tools for each step of the stem cell workflow: from reprogramming somatic cells to iPSC expansion, validation, and differentiation.
Hey dude,
Pluripotent stem cells, both embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), have the ability to differentiate into several cell types that can be used in drug testing and also in the study and treatment of diseases.
