Abstract

The application of both embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells has been subject to certain restrictions that could be removed with the development of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The induction of pluripotency is a complex process through which the effects of (a) exogenous and endogenous transcription factors and their interaction with each other and with molecular components of chromosome, (b) matrix elasticity and nuclear plasticity, and (c) intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms of the asymmetric cell divisions are pooled and will be pronounced as the stem cell fate. Also, stem cells strongly feel about the effects of both ionizing and nonionizing radiation. The effects are dose-dependent and include cell death, mutagenesis, and tumorigenesis. Nevertheless, stem cells have been proven to play a role in the repair of radiation-induced multiorgan damage. Understanding the biology of stem cells, particularly iPS cells, and their biophysical behavior, especially upon exposure to radiation, helps to make further advances in both the field of regenerative medicine and disease treatment and prevention. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
