Περίληψη: Twenty years have passed since the first demonstration of mouse induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). What began as an unexpected observation in Kyoto quickly transformed stem cell biology and regenerative medicine worldwide. Over the past two decades, we have gained profound insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular reprogramming and pluripotency. The technology has continued to evolve-becoming safer, more efficient, and more versatile. Today, iPSCs serve as a foundation for wide-ranging applications, from disease modeling and drug discovery to regenerative therapies and rejuvenation research. In this review, I reflect on the scientific journey of iPSCs, highlight key milestones in our understanding of reprogramming, and discuss the expanding clinical and societal impact of iPSCs.
