Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are highly sensitive to cellular stress in vitro, which presents challenges for their study and use. Small molecule ROCK (Rho-Kinase) inhibitors used as single agents, such as Y-27632 (Cat. No. 1254) and Thiazovivin (Cat. No. 3845), are known to improve viability of stem cells undergoing passaging or cryopreservation.

Chen et al. (2021), from National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) devised a combination of small molecules that enhances the ...
