for testing for possible side effects of a new cancer medication

Explanation: stem-cell–derived cells (e.g., cardiomyocytes or hepatocytes from iPSCs) are already used to screen drugs for toxicity. Applications like generating whole replacement organs or curing heart disease remain experimental; directing differentiation to treat diabetes/arthritis is under development and in trials but less broadly established.
