Potential uses of cultured epidermal stem cells in regenerative medicine.
Enrichment for epidermal stem cells in cultured epidermal cell sheets could be beneficial in a range of current and novel applications, including: improved outcome in treatment of skin injury, burns, and chronic wounds; gene therapy for epidermolysis bullosa; treatment for stable vitiligo; a source of multipotent adult stem cells for treatment of limbal stem cell deficiency; replacement of urethral epithelium and regeneration of other epithelia in the body
