Derivation of Patient Specific Pluripotent Stem Cells Using Clinically Discarded Cumulus Cells.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are powerful tools for basic and translational research, as well as regenerative medicine. In routine human in vitro fertilization (IVF) practices, cumulus cells (CCs) are discarded, representing a potential source of biological materials for regenerative medic...
