Figure 1. The Journey of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs): From Somatic Cell Reprogramming to Regenerative Medicine. Adult somatic cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), expanded and banked, differentiated into specialized cell types, and applied in disease modeling, drug discovery, regenerative medicine, and cell therapy. This workflow highlights how iPSCs serve as a foundational platform technology connecting basic research with transla
