Abstract
To improve wound healing or treatment of other skin diseases, and provide model cells for skin biology studies, in vitro differentiation of stem cells into keratinocyte-like cells (KLCs) is very desirable in regenerative medicine. This study examined the most recent advancements in in vitro differentiation of stem cells into KLCs, the effect of biofactors, procedures, and preparation for upcoming clinical cases. A range of stem cells with different origins could be differentiated into KLCs under appropriate conditions. The most effective ways of stem cell differentiation into keratinocytes were found to include the co-culture with primary epithelial cells and keratinocytes, and a cocktail of growth factors, cytokines, and small molecules. KLCs should also be supported by biomaterials for the extracellular matrix (ECM), which replicate the composition and functionality of the in vivo extracellular matrix (ECM) and, thus, support their phenotypic and functional characteristics. The detailed efficient characterization of different factors, and their combinations, could make it possible to find the significant inducers for stem cell differentiation into epidermal lineage. Moreover, it allows the development of chemically known media for directing multi-step differentiation procedures.In conclusion, the differentiation of stem cells to KLCs is feasible and KLCs were used in experimental, preclinical, and clinical trials. However, the translation of KLCs from in vitro investigational system to clinically valuable cells is challenging and extremely slow.

Abstract
Skin regeneration is a vexing problem in the field of regenerative medicine. A bioactive molecule-based strategy has been frequently used in skin wound healing in recent years. Bioactive molecules are practical tools for regulating cellular processes and have been applied to control cellular differentiation, dedifferentiation, and reprogramming. In this review, we focus on recent progress in the use of bioactive molecules in skin regenerative medicine, by which desired cell types can be generated in vitro for cell therapy and conventional therapeutics can be developed to repair and regenerate skin in vivo through activation of the endogenous repairing potential. We further prospect that the bioactive molecule-base method might be one of the promising strategies to achieve in situ skin regeneration in the future.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or epidermal stem cells (ESCs) may be used as a source of cells for skin wound repair in order to preserve the patient's remaining autologous skin and reduce the wound area and pain. Many studies use MSCs as therapeutic cells for wound healing, but treatment with ESCs instead can speed up wound repair. In additional to therapeutic cells, the biomechanical properties and surface topography of the dressing also affect the speed of wound healing. Silk fibroin (SF) has the property of promoting collagen regeneration to accelerate wound healing. It has made into nanofibers as a wound healing dressing with hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Methanol-treated PVA-SF dressing (PFSM) is a beadless nanofiber that can mimic the structure of endogenous extracellular matrix. In this study, SHED was first differentiated into ESCs and then effects of SHED and ESCs on wound closure were compared. Differentiation of SHED into ESCs was shown to induce growth factors that reached a maximum on the third day. In vivo, PFSM/ESC showed regeneration of granulation tissue on the third day, and the wound closure percent was 53.49%, which was 1.18-fold higher than PFSM/SHED. Therefore, the differentiation of stem cells into ESCs in advance combined with PFSM dressing can effectively accelerate wound healing in vivo. These findings can be applied to clinical treatment in the future.

Abstract
The treatment of oral mucosa defect such as autologous oral mucosa caused by resection of oral mucosa carcinoma is still not ideal in clinical practice. However, Tissue engineering gives us the possibility to solve this problem. As we all know, Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have the ability to give rise to various cell types. We can take advantage of the totipotency of human embryonic stem cells to acquire keratinocytes. Directing the epithelial differentiation of hESCs can provide seed cells for the construction of epithelium tissue by tissue engineering. But, how to get high purity keratinocytes by induced stem cells then Applied to tissue engineering mucosa is an important challenge. We described a novel method to directly induce hESCs to differentiate into keratinocytes. Retinoic acid, ascorbic acid, and bone morphogenetic protein induced hESCs to differentiate into cells that highly expressed cytokeratin (CK)14. Our findings suggest that the retinoic acid, ascorbic acid and bone morphogenetic proteins induced hESCs to form high purity keratinocyte cell populations. In addition, we found that the highly pure keratinocyte populations reconstructed artificial tissue resembling epithelial tissue when inoculated in vitro on a biological scaffold.

Abstract
Tracheal and esophageal disorders are prevalent in humans and difficult to accurately model in mice. We therefore established a three-dimensional organoid model of esophageal development through directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells. Sequential manipulation of bone morphogenic protein (BMP), Wnt, and RA signaling pathways was required to pattern definitive endoderm into foregut, anterior foregut (AFG), and dorsal AFG spheroids. Dorsal AFG spheroids grown in a 3D matrix formed human esophageal organoids (HEOs), and HEO cells could be transitioned into two-dimensional cultures and grown as esophageal organotypic rafts. In both configurations, esophageal tissues had proliferative basal progenitors and a differentiated stratified squamous epithelium. Using HEO cultures to model human esophageal birth defects, we identified that Sox2 promotes esophageal specification in part through repressing Wnt signaling in dorsal AFG and promoting survival. Consistently, Sox2 ablation in mice causes esophageal agenesis. Thus, HEOs present a powerful platform for modeling human pathologies and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) hold great potential for the treatment of various degenerative diseases. Pluripotent hESCs have a great ability to undergo unlimited self-renewal in culture and to differentiate into all cell types in the body. The journey of hESC research is not that smooth, as it has faced several challenges which are limited to not only tumor formation and immunorejection but also social, ethical, and political aspects. The isolation of hESCs from the human embryo is considered highly objectionable as it requires the destruction of the human embryo. The issue was debated and discussed in both public and government platforms, which led to banning of hESC research in many countries around the world. The banning has negatively affected the progress of hESC research as many federal governments around the world stopped research funding. Afterward, some countries lifted the ban and allowed the funding in hESC research, but the damage has already been done on the progress of research. Under these unfavorable conditions, still some progress was made to isolate, culture, and characterize hESCs using different strategies. In this review, we have summarized various strategies used to successfully isolate, culture, and characterize hESCs. Finally, hESCs hold a great promise for clinical applications with proper strategies to minimize the teratoma formation and immunorejection and better cell transplantation strategies.

Abstract
Integration of stem cell-derived neurons into the central nervous system (CNS) remains a challenge. A co-culture system is developed to understand whether mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived spiral ganglion neuron (SGN)-like cells (ESNs) synapse with native mouse cochlear nucleus (CN) neurons. A Cre system is used to generate Cop-GFP ESCs, which are induced into ESNs expressing features similar to auditory SGNs. Neural connections are observed between ESNs and CN neurons 4–6 days after co-culturing, which is stimulated by thrombospondin-1 (TSP1). Antagonist and loss-of-function small hairpin RNA studies indicate that the α2δ1 receptor is critical for TSP1-induced synaptogenesis effects. Newly generated synapse-like structures express pre- and post-synaptic proteins. Synaptic vesicle recycling, pair recording, and blocker electrophysiology suggest functional synaptic vesicles, transsynaptic activities, and formation of glutamatergic synapses. These results demonstrate the synaptogenesis capability of ESNs, which is important for pluripotent ESC-derived neurons to form functional synaptic connections to CNS neurons. Embryonic stem cell-derived neurons form functional synapses with CNS neurons Thrombospondin-1 stimulates stem cell-based synaptogenesis via the α2δ1 receptor A co-culture system is developed to study stem cell-based synapse formation Stem cell-based synaptogenesis exhibits functional synapse features
