CRISPR Gene Editing in iPS Cells

Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are one of the most valuable tools in biomedical research. These special cells originate from regular somatic cells, like those comprising skin. By ectopically expressing key transcription factors, the cells are reprogrammed to a...
