iPS cells are artificially created pluripotent stem cells that can differentiate into cells of various tissues and organs by introducing specific genes into somatic cells. Like ES cells, they are expected to be useful in regenerative med...

ES cell lines are obtained by culturing cell clusters from blastocysts, an early stage of development from fertilized eggs, under special conditions. They are used to elucidate the causes of diseases, develop new medicines such as cell t...

Pluripotent stem cells are cells that have both the ability to proliferate almost indefinitely (self-renewal) and the ability to differentiate into any cell types that constitute the human body (pluripotency). Embryonic stem cells (ES ce...
