iPSCs have numerous applications in both research and clinical settings:
Disease Modeling: iPSCs can be derived from patients with specific genetic conditions, providing a platform to study disease mechanisms and test potential therapies. Drug Screening: iPSCs can be used to create cellular models for high-throughput drug screening, enabling the identification of new therapeutic compounds. Regenerative Medicine: iPSCs hold promise for regenerative medicine, where they can potentially be used to generate tissues and organs for transplantation. Toxicology Testing: iPSC-derived cells can be used to assess the toxicity of new drugs and chemicals, reducing the need for animal testing.
