Pluripotent Stem Cell Research

Pluripotent stem cells, including Embryonic Germ (EG), Embryonal Carcinoma (EC) and Embryonic Stem (ES) cells have the capacity to give rise to differentiated progeny representative of all three germ layers (ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm). The ability to expand pluripotent cells in vitro and direct differentiation to produce specific cell types is crucial to the development of cellular based therapiesto replace or restore tissue that has been damaged by disease or injury. Millipore offers a range of tools for pluripotent stem cell research.
