Skin-like Tissue Developed from Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Date: 29.7.2009
Dental and tissue engineering researchers at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts have harnessed the **pluripotency** of human **embryonic** stem cells (hESC) to generate complex, multilayer tissues that mimic **human skin** and the oral mucosa (the moist tissue that lines the inside of the mouth).
The proof-of-concept study is published online in advance of print in Tissue Engineering Part A.
