Biologically relevant laminin as chemically defined and fully human platform for human epidermal keratinocyte culture

In vitro expansion of human epidermal keratinocytes to resurface severe wound defects still relies on a human/mouse xenograft culture system. Here the authors develop a fully human, xeno-free culture system using skin-associated laminins, normally present in vivo, to replace mouse feeder cells.
