Culturing Human iPS Cells (201B7) on Corning® Synthemax® Surface

Typically, human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells require culture on either mouse embryo fibroblast (MEF) feeder cells or on BD Matrigel™ coated surfaces. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of Corning Synthemax Surface to culture human iPS cells, the growth, maintenance of pluripotency and differentiation were compared after culture on the Corning Synthemax Surface, MEF feeder cells or a culture method using Matrigel matrix.
