In the several years since those first reports, new advances in the derivation of hiPSCs from various tissue sources (including those from human patients) and using diverse reprogramming techniques, and in their use as
a pluripotent cell source in the induced differentiation of a wide array of somatic cell types, have appeared with almost startling rapidity.
