Embryonic & Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

A Summary of Embryonic Stem Cell Molecules
Embryonic stem (ES) cells, which are derived from the inner cell mass of pre-implantation embryos, have been recognized as the most pluripotent stem cell population. These cells are capable of unlimited, undifferentiated proliferation in vitro and still maintain the capacity for differentiation into a wide variety of somatic tissues. Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS) are generated from somatic cells following the expression of specific genes. Both types of stem cells have widespread clinical potential in the treatments of heart disease, diabetes, spinal cord injury, and a variety of neurodegenerative disorders. R&D; Systems offers a range of products designed to maintain and expand stem cells in culture as well as monitor their differentiation status.

Feeder Cells for Embryonic & Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Culture
Mouse embryonic fibroblasts are used to maintain and expand pluripotent human embryonic stem cells (hES) in an undifferentiated state or to induce differentiation along somatic or germ cell lineages.
