Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Core The Human Pluripotent Stem Cell facility continuously evaluates emerging technologies and is now offering both feeder-based and feeder-free cultures in chemically defined mTeSR or in N2/B27 media. The Core is currently offering the generation of iPS cells with two transgene-free methods: 1) using episomes (based on the Yamanaka plasmids); or 2) using Sendai virus. Services Access the Services The Pluripotent Stem Cell Unit provides hESC, hIPS and feeder cell lines. The Human Stem Cell Epigenomics and Reprogramming units provide high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis services for human stem cell research. The Xenotransplantation Unit provides human stem cells FACS sorting and transplantation services to test stem cell differentiation potential in vivo.
