Leukemia inhibitory factor
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in stem cell biology. LIF is involved in the maintenance of pluripotency and self-renewal of embryonic stem cells. It is an essential component in the culture of embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells.

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.
