'''Induced pluripotent stem cells''' are [[stem cells]] that are derived from [[somatic cells]] by [[transfection]] with a virus carrying genes that are capable of causing that cell to dedifferentiate and then gain the ability to differentiate into any type of cell in the body and to self-replicate.<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=18029452&ordinalpos=6&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum<ref/>
