摘要

A method for producing a differentiated tissue is provided, which method comprises isolating at least one population of homogeneous multipotent cells, and culturing the cells in the presence of at least one differentiation factor, wherein the cells are supported by a solid phase scaffold. Differentiated tissues produced by this method, and there medical uses are also described. A method of screening for a process of producing a given differentiated tissue, and a method of optimizing a process of producing a given differentiated tissue are also described.
