Human pluripotent stem cells are a biological resource most commonly considered for their potential in cell therapy or, as it is now called, 'regenerative medicine'. However, in the near future, their most important application for human health may well be totally different, as they are more and ...

Risk of tumorigenesis is a major obstacle to human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cell therapy. Likely linked to the stage of differentiation of the cells at the time of implantation, formation of teratoma/tumors can also be influenced by factors released by the host tissue. We have analy...

Cell therapy for large burns is dependent upon autologous epidermis reconstructed in vitro. However, the effectiveness of current procedures is limited by the delay needed to culture the patient's own keratinocytes. To assess whether the keratinocyte progeny of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) ...
