Maintenance of Pluripotent Stem Cells
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have the ability to generate all cell types in the human body and can be used in many applications in basic research and translational medicine, including disease modeling, drug screening and cell therapy. Maintenance of high quality hPSCs is dependent on consistent in vitro cell culture conditions and handling techniques.

Survey Report: Where is Pluripotent Stem Cell Research Now?
At the beginning of 2020, ϳԹ conducted a survey asking scientists to help highlight the needs and challenges in the hPSC field and to gather ideas on how to achieve greater reproducibility. The survey report shares some of the most interesting insights, on topics such as irreproducibility and quality control, and how to address them in your research.

This webinar provides an in-depth look at advanced techniques for scaling up and differentiating hPSCs, with some practical tips for getting started and a 15-minute Q&A session that addresses some of the most pressing questions from the field.
- Enhancing Genetic Stability in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Maintained As Single Cells: Introducing eTeSR™In this Innovation Showcase talk from ISSCR 2023, Dr. Adam Hirst, one of ϳԹ’s Senior Scientists, introduces eTeSR™, a novel hPSC maintenance medium developed specifically to maintain cell quality when passaging hPSCs as single cells.
- Scaling Biomimetic Culture of Pluripotent Stem CellsHear from Dr. Maxime Feyeux, who discusses what the in vivo growth environment of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can teach us about in vitro culture. He summarizes some of the current challenges facing standard PSC culture technologies and shares a solution for mass producing high-quality PSCs for downstream applications.
