Low O 2 tensions and the prevention of differentiation of hES cells
16 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Early-stage mammalian embryos develop in a low O(2) environment (hypoxia). hES cells, however, are generally cultured under an atmosphere of 21% O(2) (normoxia), under which conditions they tend to differentiate spontaneously. Such conditions may not be the most suitable, therefore, for hES cell propagation. Here we have tested two hypotheses. The first hypothesis was that hES cells would grow as well under...
