Core Tip
Core tip: Identifying a practical way to efficiently differentiate pluripotent stem cells is essential in regenerative medicine. After considering the advantages and limitations of current approaches, we summarize the ideal conditions and systems. We also provide potential choices for efficiently and robustly differentiating human pluripotent stem cells into target cells and tissues in different germ layers.
