Abstract

Tissue engineering is a research field that aims to offer efficient strategies for tissue repair in an effective way, and it has been developing rapidly in the last years. In this context, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and adult stem cells (ASCs) are the most promising tools to repair tissue damage and loss of function. New protocols using stem cells and different approaches for scaffolds, production are now available for scientific experimentation. In this chapter, we review the use of stem cells in regenerative medicine and also discuss some important strategies to verify stem cell’s differentiation in functional cells for efficient tissue repair. Additionally, we present a protocol to induce pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into bone cells, in order to generate an in vivo material for bone repair.
