This study describes a platform to derive, culture, and differentiate genomically stable, transgene‐free human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) on a fully synthetic polymer substrate made of a grafted zwitterionic hydrogel. Three iPSC lines derived in these conditions demonstrated continuous self‐renewal, genomic stability, and pluripotency in vitro and in vivo after up to 9 months of continuous culture, showing the strength this alternative platform offers to generate and maintain human iPSCs for regenerative medicine.
