Induced pluripotent stem cells (also known as iPS cells or iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from adult cells. The opportunities concerning a wide range of diseases including neurodegenerative, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases in a dish for cheaper and faster drug discovery. This may be particularly important in the context of monogenic rare hereditary diseases, where iPSCs can provide an alternative model system to compensate for the lack of a predictive in-vitro human model for drug discovery.
