Pluripotent Stem Cell–Based Cancer Therapy: Promise and Challenges
Cet article passe en revue les perspectives offertes par la technologie d'induction de cellules souches pluripotentes pour le traitement des cancers
The development of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has generated enthusiasm about the therapeutic potential of these cells for treating a variety of diseases. However, the evidence that they actually will be clinically useful is limited. Here, we discuss the potential therapeutic applications of iPSCs for treating cancer and other diseases and highlight the current barriers restricting their use.
