The stem cells (In vitro reconstruction of human skin)

Wednesday 8 February 2012 by Michel Démarchez

A stem cell is a cell of multicellular organisms able to self-renew and to differentiate into different specialized cell types. It may be totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, or unipotent.

More recently, differentiated cells have been re-programmed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells or directly transdifferentiated into another type of differentiated cell (= induced differentiated cell).
