Overview
TeSR™-E6 is a defined, serum- and xeno-free medium that is based on the formulation of TeSR™-E8™, but does not contain transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). It may be used as a basal medium for differentiation of human embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, or other applications where removal of the above cytokines is desirable.

$$-Ketoglutarate Accelerates the Initial Differentiation of Primed Human Pluripotent Stem Cells.
Abstract
Abstract
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can self-renew or differentiate from naive or more differentiated, primed, pluripotent states established by specific culture conditions. Increased intracellular $$-ketoglutarate ($$KG) was shown to favor self-renewal in naive mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). The effect of $$KG or $$KG/succinate levels on differentiation from primed human PSCs (hPSCs) or mouse epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) remains unknown. We examined primed hPSCs and EpiSCs and show that increased $$KG or $$KG-to-succinate ratios accelerate, and elevated succinate levels delay, primed PSC differentiation. $$KG has been shown to inhibit the mitochondrial ATP synthase and to regulate epigenome-modifying dioxygenase enzymes. Mitochondrial uncoupling did not impede $$KG-accelerated primed PSC differentiation. Instead, $$KG induced, and succinate impaired, global histone and DNA demethylation in primed PSCs. The data support $$KG promotion of self-renewal or differentiation depending on the pluripotent state.
