Human Mid-Trimester Amniotic Fluid Stem Cells Cultured Under Embryonic Stem Cell Conditions with Valproic Acid Acquire Pluripotent Characteristics
10 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Human mid-trimester amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSC) have promising applications in regenerative medicine, being broadly multipotent with an intermediate phenotype between embryonic (ES) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Despite this propluripotent phenotype, AFSC are usually cultured in adherence in a serum-based expansion medium, and how expansion in conditions sustaining pluripotency might affect their...
