Induced pluripotent stem cells do not fully replace embryonic stem cells as disease models
A study from ESTOOLS partner Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Childrenʼs Hospital in Boston has shed new light on the properties of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells), reporting evidence that they may not be able to replace embryonic stem cells in some research and medical applications. The results of the study will be presented in Lisbon at the International Symposium “Stem Cells in Biology and Disease” during the workshop "Do we still need human embryonic stem cells" - see programme.
