The array of human pluripotent stem cells now includes embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and amniotic fluid stem cells. This article compares several aspects of these stem cell types and highlights the need for future appropriate methodological management to include a decision on the “optimal” stem cell to use for a specific application.
