Stepwise Hepatocyte Differentiation from iPSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The step-wise method to produce hepatocytes initiates from differentiating human iPSCs into definitive endoderm, which subsequently patterns into anterior endoderm and further developed into hepatic endoderm. The differentiation method was according to [21 (link), 22 ]. Hepatic cells were further matured to produce cells expressing the hepatic specific protein albumin (ALB). Hepatic differentiation efficiency was examined by immunocytochemistry staining with albumin antibody (R&D System, #MAB1455).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
