Abstract |
In 2006, Noble Prize laureate Shinya Yamanaka discovered that a set of transcription factors can reprogram terminally differentiated somatic cells to a pluripotent stem cell state. Since then, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have come into the public spotlight. Amidst a growing field of promising clinical uses of iPSCs in recent years, cancer disease modeling has emerged as a particularly promising and rapidly translatable application of iPSCs. Technological advances in genome editing over the past few years have facilitated increasingly rapid progress in generation of iPSCs with clearly defined genetic backgrounds to complement existing patient-derived models. Improved protocols for differentiation of iPSCs, engineered iPSCs and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) now permit the study of disease biology in the majority of somatic cell types. Here, we highlight current efforts to create patient-derived iPSC disease models to study various cancer types. We review the advantages and current challenges of using iPSCs in cancer disease modeling. |
