The biggest disadvantage of using iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells) for medical treatments is the risk of tumor formation. Since iPSCs can proliferate indefinitely and differentiate into various cell types, there is a potential for uncontrolled growth, leading to teratomas or other malignancies. Additionally, the processes involved in reprogramming somatic cells into iPSCs can introduce genetic and epigenetic abnormalities, which may compromise safety and efficacy in therapeutic applications.

The biggest disadvantage of using uni-potent stem cells for medical treatments is their limited differentiation potential, as they can only develop into one specific type of cell. This restricts their applicability in regenerative medicine, making them less versatile compared to pluripotent or multipotent stem cells, which can differentiate into multiple cell types. Consequently, using uni-potent stem cells may require a more complex approach to treat various conditions, increasing the challenges in developing effective therapies.

Pluripotent cells can differentiate into more types of cells.
