Human research is scientific research conducted with human subjects in an effort to improve health. Human research can involve people directly, but it can also utilize specimens or data from people. Research can be aimed at developing a new drug or therapy or improving a diagnostic or therapeutic technique.
The generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from adult easily accessible somatic tissues was introduced ten years ago. This technology has revolutionized our opportunities to stu...
