Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Induced pluripotent stem cell technology have solved the contradiction between the ethics and immune rejection, and this high-efficient and safe technique is becoming the mainstream of today’s research.
OBJECTIVE: To comprehensively review the safety and application of induced pluripotent stem cells.
METHODS: A computer-based online retrieval of PubMed and CNKI was performed to search relevant papers published from January 2006 to April 2016, with the key words of “induced pluripotent stem cell, reprogramming, clinical application, safety, transcription factor, disease mode” in English and Chinese, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In recent years, research on induced pluripotent stem cells has attracted much attention from the scientific community and the medical community, and this technique has successfully gained induced pluripotent stem cells and overcome the problems of immunity and ethics. However, it is limited to the theoretical and laboratory research due to the inability to solve the safety, efficiency and re-differentiation mechanism of induced pluripotent stem cells. Therefore, we are faced with enormous difficulties and challenges, which involve all aspects of basic research, including how to safely and effectively induce the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells into the desired cell type and how to establish a suitable disease model as well as a high-throughput drug screening platform.
