Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a cell culture medium and a method for culturing cells. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a feeder cell that can be used in the above-mentioned culture method, and a method for evaluating a medium for culturing the cells. Background technique
[0002] Recent studies have shown that human pluripotent stem cells such as human ES cells (hESCs) and human iPS cells (hiPSCs) are likely to be practically used in the field of regenerative medicine. These pluripotent stem cells have the ability to proliferate indefinitely and differentiate into various cells, and are expected to be used as therapeutic methods for intractable diseases and lifestyle-related diseases. Human pluripotent stem cells have been shown to be induced to differentiate into various cells such as nerve cells, cardiomyocytes, blood cells or omental cells in vitro.
[0003] The feeder cells serve to supply the stem cells with growth factors for maint...
