Meanings

1. (abbreviation, alt-of, initialism) Initialism of induced pluripotent stem cell.
   alt of induced pluripotent stem cell
   • The preparation of somatic cells, their reprogramming and the subsequent verification of iPSC pluripotency are laborious, manual processes [....] 2015, Paull, D. et al., "Automated, high-throughput derivation, characterization and differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells", Nature Methods, vol. 12, no. 9, pg. 885 (abstract)
   • The fact that only a small fraction of cells infected with the reprogramming factors form iPSC colonies indicates that direct reprogramming is a stochastic process. 2009, Essentials of stem cell biology, edition 2, Robert Paul Lanza (editor), page 30
   • One of the most promising routes in this regard is the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) by reprogramming cells. 2010, Michael Roßbach, Manal Hadenfeld, Oliver Brüstle, “Industrial Applications of Stem Cells”, in Kristina Hug, Göran Hermerén, editors, Translational Stem Cell Research: Issues Beyond the Debate, page 91:
   • [...] the propensity of stem cells to form teratoma following transplantation is still another major obstacle in using iPSC for disease therapy. 2011, M. A. Hayat, editor, Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells: Therapeutic Applications in Disease and Injury, volume 1, page 10:
   • ECs Derived from ESC and iPSC 2010, G. Sun et al., edited by Krishnendu Roy, Biomaterials as Stem Cell Niche, page 202:
