ALT A graphic that features the title "Stem Cells: A Quick Explainer" against a black-and-white microscopy photo of cells.
ALT A graphic that explains that stem cells act as the building blocks of living organisms and are defined by two key characteristics: they can divide indefinitely, and they can develop into more specialized cells. An image of a lab petri dish set is featured in the background.
ALT A graphic explaining that stem cells are used to study human development, model diseases, test new drugs and develop cell replacement therapies. An image of a laboratory worker at a lab hood is featured in the background.

ALT Graphic with the titles 'Word of the Week' and 'iPSC.' Includes a magnifying glass, a drawing of a petri dish with cells, and the phrase 'Cell differentiation!' The website stemcell.ucla.edu appears on the side.
ALT Definition card for the word 'iPSC,' which stands for 'Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell'. Text reads: 'Adult cells — typically skin or blood — that have been reprogrammed in the lab to behave like stem cells. This gives them the potential to become any cell type found in the major tissues of the body.' Includes an illustration of a dictionary.
ALT Relevance card explaining that Dr. Amander Clark at the BSCRC is using iPSCs to model the development of human reproductive cells and to better understand the mechanisms behind infertility. Includes a photo of Dr. Amander Clark, as well as illustrations of cells and laboratory glassware.
ALT Diagram explaining that the term pluripotent comes from the Latin word for 'many' and the Latin word for 'powerful'.
