iPSCs are generated by reprogramming adult cells into a pluripotent state, similar to embryonic stem cells, but with the advantage of being derived from the patient's own cells, reducing the risk of immune rejection. What is the evidence this is true?

In venture capital(VC), the power law describes a distribution where a few investments generate the major of returns. VCs often invest in a broad array of startups, anticipating that while many yield modest returns, few will become “home runs,” providing large profits that define the fund’s success.
