Overview of iPSC Research Methods

The Stem Cell Research Institute's most notable accomplishment is without a doubt the iPSC technology, which is why it was chosen as the greatest scientific and technological advance of 2009. Because iPSC technology does not utilize embryonic or egg cells, it avoids ethical dilemmas that may arise from the use of traditional embryonic stem cell technology and somatic cell nuclear transfer technologies. In addition, the patient can prevent immunological rejection by using iPSC produced from autologous cells. Overall, the use of iPSC technology in clinical cell therapy shows significant promise.
