Applications of induced pluripotent stem cell in cancer therapy / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are derived from differentiated somatic cells through reprogramming in vitro.Similarly to embryonic stem cells (ESCs),iPSCs have the ability of unlimited selfrenewal and multiple differentiation potential.But they are without the constraints of immunology and ethics and acquire conveniently.Patient-specific iPSCs provide an invaluable resource for disease modeling,drug discovery,regenerative therapy,immune therapy and cellular delivery vehicle in cancer therapy.Nowadays,the application of iPSCs technology has made some progress in the treatment of tumors.
