Stem cells have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell types, and, in the human body, they reside in specialized microenvironments called stem cell niches. Although several niches have been described and studied in vivo, their functional replication in vitro is still incomplete. The in vitro culture of pluripotent stem cells may represent one of the most advanced examples in the effort to create an artificial or synthetic stem cell niche. A focus has been placed on the development of human stem cell microenvironments due to their significant clinical implications, in addition to the potential differences between animal and human cells. In this concise review, we describe the advances in human pluripotent stem cell culture and explore the idea that the knowledge gained from this model could be replicated to create synthetic niches for other human stem cell populations, which have proven difficult to maintain in vitro.
