Where this comes from

Abstract

Human induced pluripotent stem cells represent a promising tool for investigating the underlying causes of disease; however, this potential currently remains unfulfilled. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Yoon et al. (2014) used iPSCs derived from patients harboring common genetic risk variants as the starting point to discover novel insights into disease pathology.
