Abstract:
Pluripotent stems cells (PSCs) can be expanded indefinitely and differentiated into almost any organ-specific cell type. This has enabled the generation of disease relevant tissues from patients in scalable quantities. iPSC-derived organs and organoids are currently being evaluated both in regenerative therapy which are proceeding towards clinical trials, and for disease modeling, which are facilitating drug screening efforts for discovery of novel therapeutics. Here we will review the current efforts and advances in iPSC technology and its subsequent applications and provide a brief commentary on future outlook of this promising technology.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
