Considerable hope surrounds the use of disease-specific pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into any cell type, as starting materials to generate models of human disease that will allow exploration of pathological mechanisms and the search for new treatments. Disease-specific human em...

The molecular mechanisms controlling the differentiation of human basal keratinocyte stem cells towards the epidermis are well characterized, whereas the earliest process leading to the specification of embryonic stem cells into keratinocytes is still not well understood. MicroRNAs are regulators...

Although cell therapy has been clinically implemented for several decades, its use is hampered by the difficulty in supplying the amount of epidermal substitute needed to extend the application to all patients who may benefit from it. How human pluripotent stem cells may help meet this challenge ...
