DESCRIPTION:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) generated by rep
 rogramming somatic cells represent an unique opportunity for regenerative 
 medicine. Indeed\, hIPSCs can proliferate indefinitely in vitro while main
 taining the capacity to differentiate into broad number of cell type. Ther
 efore\, hIPSCs could be used to produce an infinite quantity of cell type 
 with a clinical interest. In addition\, hIPSCs could enable the production
  of patient specific cell types which are fully immuno-compatible with the
  original donor thereby avoiding the need for immune suppressive treatment
  during cell based therapy. However\, recent reports have suggested that e
 pigenetic and genetic anomalies associated with direct reprogramming techn
 ology could limit the interest of hIPSCs for in vivo use. \n\nThis 3rd Ann
 ual event will review the drawbacks and advantages of hIPSCs for diverse t
 ypes of clinical applications.\n\nhttp://www.regonline.co.uk/2012londonste
