LIF-Free Embryonic Stem Cell Culture in Simulated Microgravity
22 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is an indispensable factor for maintaining mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell pluripotency. A feeder layer and serum are also needed to maintain an undifferentiated state, however, such animal derived materials need to be eliminated for clinical applications.
