Activin and BMP4 Synergistically Promote Formation of Definitive Endoderm in Human Embryonic Stem Cells
29 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) herald tremendous promise for the production of clinically useful cell types for the treatment of injury and disease. Numerous reports demonstrate their differentiation into definitive endoderm (DE) cells, the germ layer from which pancreatic β cells and hepatocytes arise, solely from exposure to a high dose of recombinant Activin/Nodal. We show that combining a second related...
