[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

iPSCs, or induced pluripotent stem cells, are adult stem cells that have been reprogrammed to behave similarly to embryonic stem cells. This reprogramming is typically achieved by introducing specific genes into the adult stem cells, which can then differentiate into different types of cells in the body. iPSCs have the potential to be used in regenerative medicine and disease modeling, as they offer a non-controversial and abundant source of pluripotent cells.
