    GlossaryInduced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)

    cells reprogrammed from adult cells to an embryonic-like state

    Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are a type of stem cell that scientists create by reprogramming adult cells, such as skin or blood cells, to revert to an embryonic-like state. This process allows these cells to potentially develop into any type of cell in the body, making them valuable for research, regenerative medicine, and disease modeling.
