Cells Stem Pluripotent Genes Induced Created Lab Produced

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are created in a lab by genetically modifying unipotent stem cells to acquire characteristics of embryonic stem cells, often by inducing specific genes and transcriptional factors.

produced from unipotent stem cells to produce a type of pluripotent cells
genetically altered to make them acquire characteristics of embryonic stem cells
Involves inducing genes and transcriptional factors within the cell to express genes that would have been turned off
