Comparable Generation of Activin-Induced Definitive Endoderm via Additive Wnt or BMP Signaling in Absence of Serum
12 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
There is considerable interest in differentiating human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into definitive endoderm (DE) and pancreatic cells for in vitro disease modeling and cell replacement therapy. Numerous protocols use fetal bovine serum, which contains poorly defined factors to induce DE formation. Here, we compared Wnt and BMP in their ability to cooperate with Activin signaling to promote DE formation in a...
