Core Tip

Core tip: Genome-wide alterations in gene expression in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) following genotoxic stress exposures may underlie the ultimate fate and outcome of practical utility of hPSCs which makes systematic studies of these effects a high priority in stem cell research.
