A research team of Jiangsu University announced recently a result in the research of skin regenerative medicine. In response to the disease caused by the decrease in the number of melanocytes or the loss of function, the team successfully used the skin tissue of the patient's pigment loss site to generate induced pluripotent stem cells, and obtained a large number of melanocytes with high value-adding ability and in vivo integration ability through differentiation culture. The skin tissue was successfully transplanted into the body of mice to play normal skin function, which means that patients with vitiligo are expected to be cured by this means. This achievement was recently published in the top academic journals in the field of natural sciences.
