Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Induced pluripotent stem cells can potentially cause cancer if they are not fully reprogrammed or if they undergo mutations during cell culturing. However, this is not an intended use or advantage of iPSCs. iPSCs are primarily used for testing drugs, generating disease models, and producing stem cells for therapies.
