Cells reprogrammed (using viruses to carry genes) to act as pleuripotent stem cells
A
somatic cell nuclear transfer
B
induced pleuripotent cells
C
hippocampus
D
bone marrow
E
cord blood cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, are a type of pluripotent stem cell derived from adult somatic cells. They have been reprogrammed through inducing genes and factors to be pluripotent. iPS cells are similar to embryonic stem (ES) cells in many aspects.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cells are reprogrammed to iPSCs through viral or nonviral mediated gene transfer before the replacement of the disease-causing gene with a healthy gene. The genetically modified iPSCs are enriched and then subsequently differentiated into the affected cell subtype. The cells are then reinfused into the patient.

Detailed explanation-3: -iPSC are derived from skin or blood cells that have been reprogrammed back into an embryonic-like pluripotent state that enables the development of an unlimited source of any type of human cell needed for therapeutic purposes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCS) are created by causing terminally differentiated somatic cells to revert to pluripotency by chemical or genetic reprogramming.

Detailed explanation-5: -Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are generated from somatic cells that have been reprogrammed by the ectopic expression of defined embryonic transcription factors. This technology has provided investigators with a powerful tool for modelling disease and developing treatments for human disorders.
