Consider the following statement about induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC).
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Solution (b)
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) produced by genetically manipulating human skin cells to produce embryonic-like stem cells that are capable of forming any cell types of the body.
Hence Statement 1 is incorrect.
Tissues derived from iPSCs will be a nearly identical match to the cell donor and thus probably avoid rejection by the immune system.
