What is the Role of iPSCs in Personalized Medicine?

Personalized medicine aims to tailor medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient. iPSCs can be generated from a patient's own cells, which can then be used to create patient-specific disease models. These models help in identifying the most effective treatments for individual patients, considering their unique genetic makeup. This approach minimizes adverse effects and maximizes therapeutic efficacy, making treatments more personalized and precise.
