Validation of baboon pluripotent cells as a model for translational stem cell research

Translation of stem cell therapies to the clinic will be most successful following optimization of efficacy and safety in appropriate preclinical model systems. Among available models, nonhuman primates (NHPs) provide the most accurate recapitulation of human anatomy, physiology, genetics and epigen...
