Efficient Generation of Hematopoietic Precursors and Progenitors From Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines.
By mimicking embryonic development of the hematopoietic system, we have developed an optimized in vitro differentiation protocol for the generation of precursors of hematopoietic lineages and primitive hematopoietic cells from human embryonic stem cells (ES) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). Factors such as cytokines, extra cellular matrix components, and small molecules, as well as the te
