Maintenance of undifferentiated state of human embryonic stem cells in chemical defined medium at high clone density without exogenous cell factors / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Objective To establish human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) feeder-independent and cell factor-free culture system. Methods Effect of high and low clone densities of hESCs culture was compared and impact of the clone densities to hESCs culture media was analyzed. Results HESCs could maintain their undifferentiated states at high clone density (34 clones/cm2) without cell factors. At the same time,the bone morphology protein (BMP)-like induction of N2 and B27 supplements (NB) medium could be modulated by the clone density,and high level of BMP-like induction was accompanied by high clone density. Conclusion High clone density of hESCs can change the environments by themselves to maintain the undifferentiated states,which provides a new clue to explore the mechanism of undifferentiated states of hESCs and simplify the culture medium.

Primary Experience in the Course of Clinical Microbiology Teaching Practice / 中华医学教育探索杂志

With the change of clinical infection patterns,increasing number of multi-drug resistance bacteria and emerging of new discovering pathogens,the knowledge of Clinical Microbiology has developed and updated rapidly.It will produce positive effect on students'competence cultivation to introduce the knowledge about new techniques application and related subjects in student's clinical teaching practice.
