Fascinating research using induced pluripotent stem cells has effectively allowed researchers to create "diseases in a dish". The medical implications are exciting and far-reaching: creating a means for researchers to recapitulate diseases and design appropriate therapies that match biologically.
What are your thoughts on this new trend for cardiovascular medicine?
