20080293140 | PROPAGATION AND/OR DERIVATION OF EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS - Embryonic stem (ES) cells are cultured in the presence of a compound which selectively inhibits propagation or survival of cells other than ES cells. The ES cells have not been genetically altered. Instead, the compound inhibits a signalling pathway which is essential for propagation of differentiated cells but is not essential for propagation of ES cells—hence ES cells are selectively maintained in the culture. | 11-27-2008 |
