Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Research

Human embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are increasingly being differentiated into specialized cell types for a wide range of applications, such as disease modeling, drug discovery, toxicity screening and cell therapy. See More While techniques have been developed to differentiate hPSCs into many adult cell types, many protocols are still inefficient and inconsistent. To reduce variability when differentiating hPSCs, use our specialized kits, reagents and user-friendly protocols to generate cells of the ectodermal, mesodermal and endodermal lineages. For flexible, user-directed differentiation, use cytokine-free specialized cell culture media such as , , TeSR™-E5, or TeSR™-E6 to direct differentiation to your lineage of choice.
