Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)

Since the discovery that human and mouse fibroblasts could be reprogrammed to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with qualities similar to embryonic stem cells, iPSCs have proven to be a valuable tool in basic research, drug discovery, and cell therapy.

Our products have been an integral part of induced pluripotent stem cell research from the initial discovery of iPSCs to current breakthroughs. Our comprehensive portfolio of stem cell research products provides optimized tools for each step of the stem cell workflow: from reprogramming somatic cells to iPSC expansion and differentiation.
