Embryonic & Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
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.
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.
Culture media specifically optimized for use with human or rodent embryonic stem cells.
Media supplements and growth factors, to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells into definitive endoderm under serum-free conditions.
Contains media supplements and growth factors to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells into endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm and antibodies to characterize each of the three cell types.
For single-step, quick, direct immunocytochemical staining of live unfixed human pluripotent stem cells
