«The ability to
generate pure populations of these cell types is very important for any kind of clinically important regenerative medicine,» said Loh, «as well as to develop a basic road map of human embryonic development.
According to the authors, future studies should aim to improve the efficiency of the approach to
generate a pure population of cells that closely mimic adult Leydig cells.

Within five to nine days we can
generate virtually all the
pure cell
populations that we need.»
The ability to make
pure populations of these cells within days rather than the weeks or months previously required is a key step toward clinically useful regenerative medicine — potentially allowing researchers to
generate new beating heart cells to repair damage after a heart attack or to create cartilage or bone to reinvigorate creaky joints or heal from trauma.
