** Use the form below to request a new term ** ** Scroll down to see a term request example ** Please indicate the label for the proposed term: Induced Pluripotent Cell Line (iPS Cell)
Please provide a textual definition (with source):" iPS cells or iPSCs are a type of pluripotent stem cell artificially derived from a non-pluripotent cell - typically an adult somatic cell - by inducing a "forced" expression of specific genes." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_pluripotent_stem_cell Please add an example of usage for proposed term: iPS cells are derived from adult cells, generally from a patient biopsy (skin), or hair root, blood, or spinal tap. These adult cells are pushed backward in developmental time allowing them to be re-differentiated into many different adult cell lines allowing researchers to have direct access to a patient's neural, cardiac, bone or other cell type. They are extremely valuable, expensive to make and easy to share. I think they should be a primary cell type under cell lines. Also, unlike most cell line types they should be linkable to some amount of information about the patient from which they were derived. THis would be information like approximate age, background(ethnic), disease (obviously), and we should be able to tie them together if they are derived from the same family or from the same individual.
