Most of the ground-breaking research profiled here was supported by mTeSR™1, the most widely published cell culture medium for the feeder-free maintenance of ES cells and iPS cells. A highly specialized, serum-free and complete cell culture medium, mTeSR™1 has been used in over 40 countries to successfully maintain hundreds of ES cell and iPS cell lines.
