Benefits of technology

[0032]In accordance with this second aspect, there is also provided a method for inhibiting or preventing differentiation of stem cells to extraembryonic cells, the method comprises incubating said stem cells in a culture system comprising NA or a derivative of NA having an inhibitory effect on differentiation of stem cells to extraembryonic cell

Problems solved by technology

It was found that in this system the cells are propagated as clumps on a low scale which does not allow cloning2.
This system allows cloning of undifferentiated hESC, although at a low efficiency3.
A key limitation of hESC culture systems is that they do not allow the propa

Abstract

The present invention concerns systems and methods for providing human cell cultures. Specific embodiments of the invention relate to cultures of feeder cells for use in stem cell technology, as well as cultures, culture systems and methods for maintenance and propagating of stem cells in an undifferentiated state as well as for the development of somatic cells cultures from stem cells, the somatic cell cultures being free of extraembryonic cells.
