iPSCs

The political tenor had changed considerably with the advent of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are derived from adult somatic cells and thus are not controversial.

That's died out considerably with the advent of iPSCs because people were looking for alternative sources for pluripotent cells, and now there is an alternative source.

If you look at 100 iPSCs and 100 hESCs, you'll find there are outliers in both groups -- cells that are difficult or act funny.

So we have people with all sorts of different skills that are all focusing on hESCs or iPSCs or stem cells in general.

SCHELLER: Last time I talked to you, you sounded more excited about iPSCs than hESCs.

LORING: I am more excited for a lot of reasons about iPSCs because you can make them from any individual.

This involves generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a range of people with a medical condition, using these to grow cells or organoids and then testing whether potential drugs improve how the ‘diseased’ models function.
