道理虽如此，不过最好不要说病人忍受治疗方法的缺陷，不如说某些可控风险的考虑是可以因临床效应所接受的。干细胞这么复杂的活体进入体内治疗，风险只会比现有的化学药剂风险难控制。不过这个说法也得等到干细胞的研究与技术解决了很多“不稳定性”缺陷之后。也就是说风险的控制应该有一个底线，最好是明明白白的风险，而不是未知因素的未知风险。

这倒不是iPS一家独有的课题，胚胎干也一样存在相关问题。即使所谓成体干细胞，如间充质，目前的临床“应用”也还存在很多应该能消除的“黑匣子”风险。

iPS和ESC的一些差异是否必然会延续到分化过程以及分化结果，并在体内功能上会有差异，还没有定论。是否这些差异会在分化过程中消除或减弱，也是一种理论上的可能性。

Human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells offer a novel source of patient-specific cells for regenerative medicine. However, the biological potential of iPS-derived cells and their similarities to cells differentiated from human embryonic stem (hES) cells remain unclear. We derived fibroblast-like cells from two hiPS cell lines and show that their phenotypic properties and patterns of DNA methylation were similar to that of mature fibroblasts and to fibroblasts derived from hES cells. iPS-derived fibroblasts (iPDK) and their hES-derived counterparts (EDK) showed similar cell morphology throughout differentiation, and patterns of gene expression and cell surface markers were characteristic of mature fibroblasts. Arraybased methylation analysis was performed for EDK, iPDK and their parental hES and iPS cell lines, and hierarchical clustering revealed that EDK and iPDK had closely-related methylation profiles. DNA methylation analysis of promoter regions associated with extracellular matrix (ECM)-production (COL1A1) by iPS- and hESC-derived fibroblasts and fibroblast lineage commitment (PDGFRb), revealed promoter demethylation linked to their expression, and patterns of transcription and1 W4 [$ L5 [$ I# t/ H; L
methylation of genes related to the functional properties of mature stromal cells were seen in both hiPS- and hES-derived fibroblasts. iPDK cells also showed functional properties analogous to those of hES-derived and mature fibroblasts, as seen by their capacity to direct the morphogenesis of engineered human skin equivalents. Characterization of the functional behavior of ES- and iPS-derived fibroblasts in engineered 3D tissues demonstrates the utility of this tissue platform to predict the capacity of iPS-derived cells before their therapeutic application.

我一直对“Hotspots of aberrant epigenomic reprogramming in human induced pluripotent stem cells ”同期的三篇文章是有怀疑的，老觉得实验设计不合理，他们就是在假设iPS 与ES 有差异的前提下去设计的实验，我觉得能找到差异是必然的。$ X/ }% i4 u* T  H; V# d
反而我觉得最新cell stem cell 上的这篇文章“Background Mutations in Parental Cells Account for Most of the Genetic Heterogeneity of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells” 更有意思。; W0 H6 U, |  {4 r% i( d# M: }2 k
