Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, in particular, the invention relates to the application of transforming growth factor Activin A for culture of human embryonic stem cells without trophoblast. Background technique
[0002] Human embryonic stem cells are cells obtained from the inner cell mass of early human embryos under in vitro culture conditions and have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body and have unlimited proliferation potential (Thomson JA., Itskovitz-Eldor J., Shapiro SS., et al. Science. Nov 6 1998;282(5391):1145-1147). Human embryonic stem cells have the ability to expand infinitely under specific culture conditions in vitro, maintain a normal karyotype and differentiate into any type of cell in the body, which provides an unlimited source of cells for the treatment of human diseases and damaged tissues. These diseases that may be treated with human embryonic stem cells include: diabetes, Alz...
