Human embryonic stem cells secrete soluble factors that inhibit cancer cell growth
2 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine whether normal human embryonic stem cells (hESC) would secrete factors that arrest growth of human epithelial cancer cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cell proliferation was examined using the MTT assay then haemocytometer cell counts. Staining with propidium iodide followed by flow cytometry was used to detect cell cycle stages. Heat denaturation and molecular...
