Table 1 Clinical application of human pluripotent stem cells

Human pluripotent stem cells	Sources	Ethical hurdle	Safety
ESCs	Embryos	High	Relatively high¹
Allogenic iPSCs (with immunosuppression)	Cell banks	Low	Not yet evaluated
Allogenic iPSCs (without immunosuppression)		Low	High
Autologous iPSCs	Patient samples	Low	Under evaluation

Advantages and disadvantages of each kind of human pluripotent stem cells are described.

¹Up till now, no severe side effects have been reported. ESCs: Embryonic stem cells; iPSCs: Induced pluripotent stem cells.
