Stem cells are clonogenic cells capable of both self-renewal and multilineage differentiation. Therefore, these cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into any type of cell and to be genetically modified ‘in vitro’, thus providing cells which can be isolated and used for transplantation. Moreover, these derived cells have proven to be useful in different animal models. Using a combination of several directed differentiation methods (nicotina...
