Potential therapeutic applications of differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases

Potential therapeutic applications of differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases; Aijing Gao, Yuhua Peng, Yulin Deng, Hong Qing. Neuroscience, Available online 13 October 2012

Keywords: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), Neurodegerative diseases, Cell therapy, Reprogramming factors, Differentiation, Immunogenicity.

Although iPSCs technology is in its infancy and faces many obstacles, it has great potential in helping to identify therapeutic targets for treating neurodegenerative diseases.
