WOW 1h:30min to big... it may take a while.

What about the advancements that have been 'made' in the areas of induced pluripotent stem cells. What are the advantages/disadvantages between IPSc research and embryonic stem cell research?

I guess this kinda answers my own question.

The whole point of the first part of the presentation was to compare and contrast the difference between IPS and Embryonic Stem cells and show the perks of both.. It is obvious you didnt watch the video, because the answer was blatantly shown on many slides in the form of easy to understand comparison charts.
next time.. before you ask such a thoughtless, pointless question about a topic that the first half of the video answer clear enough for high school students to understand, make sure to actually watch the vid
Stem Cell therapies have been shown to work. Case and point: Berlin patient and Charlie & Trisha Knuth.

Now to respond to the article you posted....
Also.. if you read the article you posted, it is misleading itself.
quotes said by YOUR article:
"Since the stem cells could be made from a particular patient's skin cells, they could be used to make tissues that presumably would not be rejected by that patient's immune system."
"they found that iPS cells made from mouse skin cells were rejected by genetically identical mice...."
Now, here is my rebuttal. this is what happens when you IPS cells from one mouse into ANOTHER mouse. NOT REPLACEMENT into the SAME MOUSE. OBVIOUSLY YOU WILL GET REJECTION! Now if you reinject the IPS cells into the injured site of the host mouse, THEY WILL REPAIR. This is not rocket science people. YOUR CELL go to YOUR BODY.
just because you are genetically identical does not mean you are histological compatible. Each immune system is different, and has a way of identifying foreign cell types because the markers on the cell surface are slightly different, Since the histocompatibility is determined by the variation of the light chain regions on the MHC ( major histocompatibility complex) I and II cell receptor complexes, its obvious that you only have a successful transplant in the MHC receptors match. This is why even identical twins have transplant issues just like everyone else. There are also epigenetic factors that influence antigen receptor variation and Immune system variation in general.
i suggest reading.. you know.. a real research article on the subject0, or go to a place like science daily rather then the news.. because we know how accurate the news is in presenting research....
Identical genetics =/= Identical histological identity

What do rugby and biology or music and biology have in common? I am doing a biology project and we have to relate a subject that we enjoy and biology with 4 items. For music, you could do a rain pipe or an ear for listening to the music. I would really appreciate the help.
