Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) produced by genetically manipulating human skin cells to produce embryonic-like stem cells that are capable of forming any cell types of the body. They are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from adult cells. The iPSC technology was pioneered by Shinya Yamanaka’s lab in Kyoto, Japan. Tissues derived from iPSCs will be a nearly identical match to the cell donor and thus probably avoid rejection by the immune system. Pluripotent stem cells hold promise in the field of regenerative medicine. Because they can propagate indefinitely, as well as give rise to every other cell type in the body (such as neurons, heart, pancreatic, and liver cells), they represent a single source of cells that could be used to replace those lost to damage or disease. Do you know? Researchers in Hyderabad based LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) have successfully grown miniature eye-like organs that closely resemble the developing eyes of an early-stage embryo. These were produced using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Think National Guidelines for Stem Cell Research 2017
