Evaluation of unrestricted somatic stem cells as a feeder layer to support undifferentiated embryonic stem cells
7 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
The use of unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSCs) holds great promise for future clinical applications. Conventionally, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) or other animal-based feeder layers are used to support embryonic stem cell (ESC) growth; the use of such feeder cells increases the risk of retroviral and other pathogenic infection in clinical trials. Implementation of a human-based feeder layer, such as...
