[HTML][HTML] Genomic instability of iPSCs: challenges towards their clinical applications

M Yoshihara, Y Hayashizaki, Y Murakawa - Stem cell reviews and reports, 2017 - Springer
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cells generated directly
from mature cells through the introduction of key transcription factors. iPSCs can be …

[HTML][HTML] Single-cell analysis of human ovarian cortex identifies distinct cell populations but no oogonial stem cells

M Wagner, M Yoshihara, I Douagi… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
