Induced pluripotent stem cells are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from a somatic cell. The iPSC technology was pioneered by Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi in K
Confocal microscopic image of a colony of human induced pluripotent stem cells derived from a patient with oculocutaneous albinism. Blue indicates transcription factor Oct-4, green the protein SSEA4, and red the nuclei of the cells.
