'''Induced pluripotent stem cells''' are [[stem cells]] that are derived from [[somatic cells]] by [[transfection]] with a virus. The virus carries genes that are capable of causing the target cell to dedifferentiate and then gain the ability to differentiate into any type of cell in the body and to indefinitely propagate itself.
'''Induced pluripotent stem cells''' area type of [[adult stem cells]]; more specifically, they are [[stem cells]] that are derived from [[somatic cells]] by [[transfection]] with a virus. The virus carries genes that are capable of causing the target cell to dedifferentiate and then gain the ability to differentiate into any type of cell in the body and to indefinitely propagate itself.
