Cellartis 3i mES/iPSC culture medium citation list

Cellartis 3i mES/iPSC Culture Medium (formerly iSTEM medium) is a defined cell culture medium for deriving, maintaining, and propagating mouse pluripotent stem cells. The medium utilizes a three small molecule inhibitor-based method (3i), which blocks FGFR (SU5402), ERK (PD184352), and GSK3 (CHIR99021). This technique blocks differentiating-inducing signals, promotes cell survival, and maintains pluripotency without the need for additional stimulatory cytokines. This method is a powerful way to keep pluripotent stem cells in a basal, ground-state that enables germline-competency.
