hIPSC Derivation
General |
|
| Source cell type |
A peripheral blood cell with a single nucleus. This category includes lymphocytes and monocytes.
Synonyms
|
| Source cell origin |
A liquid tissue; its major function is to transport oxygen throughout the body. It also supplies the tissues with nutrients, removes waste products, and contains various components of the immune system defending the body against infection. Several hormones also travel in the blood.

Figure 1. Linea 1 (LINi001-A) Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Demonstrate High-Quality Morphology in Routine Culture.
Cryopreserved cells from line Linea 1 (LINi001-A) were thawed and maintained in mTeSR1 on Biolaminin 521 CTG (CTG521). (A,B) Colonies show the expected migratory behaviour on Biolaminin 521, with more irregular borders and looser packing early in culture. Cell density and border definition increase as confluence is reached. (C) Cells retain prominent nucleoli and high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios.
