The present invention relates to a method for inducing the differentiation
of mammals' embryonic stem cells into keratinocytes, comprising the
following steps of: isolating an extracellular matrix secreted by at
least one mammals' cell type, cultivating mammals' embryonic stem cells
in parallel in an undifferentiated condition in an appropriate culture
medium in the presence of LIF, seeding the embryonic stem cells as a
monolayer on said extracellular matrix, cultivating the thus seeded
embryonic stem cells in the absence of LIF for a period of time
sufficient for their differentiation into keratinocytes, and collecting
the thus obtained keratinocytes.
