Amniotic Fluid Stem Cells: A Novel Source for Modeling of Human Genetic Diseases

In recent years, great interest has been devoted to the use of Induced Pluripotent Stem cells (iPS) for modeling of human genetic diseases, due to the possibility of reprogramming somatic cells of affected patients into pluripotent cells, enabling differentiation into several cell types, and allowin...
