9. Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs): Personalized Regeneration
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are adult cells reprogrammed to behave like embryonic stem cells, capable of developing into any cell type. This breakthrough opens the door to personalized regenerative medicine, allowing the creation of patient-specific tissues for repair or replacement. Notably, iPSCs are already advancing treatments for conditions like macular degeneration and heart disease, and are invaluable in disease modeling.
