Research for induced pluripotent stem cells in cardiovascular area / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)are pluripotent stem cells obtained through transduction of specific transcription factors and reprogramming of human and animal somatic cells,Which are similar to embryonic stem cells.The iPSCs possesses characteristics of unlimited proliferation,self-reneWal and multi-differentiation.This arti-cle mainly summarized current research condition,application value and prospects of iPSCs in cardiovascular area, and its defect in application of current stage.
