iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells)
DEiPSC (induzierte pluripotente Stammzellen)
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are adult somatic cells reprogrammed into a pluripotent state using factors such as OSKM, capable of differentiating into any cell type of the body. They bypass the ethical concerns of embryonic stem cells and enable patient-specific disease modeling, drug screening, and autologous cell therapies. In aging research, iPSCs reset many epigenetic age markers, providing a powerful platform to study and reverse cellular aging.
