TLDR Researchers created artificial human skin using special cells, which could help treat skin conditions like albinism and vitiligo.
Researchers successfully created artificial pigmented human skin using Muse cells, a type of pluripotent stem cell. Muse cells were isolated from human fibroblasts and adipose tissue, demonstrating their ability to differentiate into functional melanocytes, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts. This breakthrough highlighted the potential of Muse cells in regenerative medicine, particularly for skin reconstruction and treatment of pigmentation disorders. The study provided a foundation for future research into skin regeneration and the therapeutic applications of Muse cells.
