Modeling of lung phenotype of Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome type I using patient-specific iPSCs

Abstract Background Somatic cells differentiated from patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could be a useful tool in human cell-based disease research. Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism and a p...
