The innovation of cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has
revolutionized the field of drug discovery and development, offering researchers access to a
consistent and almost infinite supply of stem cells from a single donor source. Human iPSC-
derived cells can offer a more robust and physiologically relevant model to be used for
screening candidate drugs. Human iPSC-derived renal proximal tubular cells are an example
of a new cellular development that would be ideal for use in drug discovery to identify and
predict drug induced toxicity.
