By analyzing five human embryonic stem (hES) cell lines over long-term culture, we identified a recurrent genomic instability in the human genome. An amplification of 2.5-4.6 Mb at 20q11.21, encompassing approximately 23 genes in common, was detected in four cell lines of different origins. This ...

In parallel to the active search for therapeutic and industrial applications of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), designing automated means of producing those cells is a timely goal. Slow-turning lateral vessels (STLVs) with low shear stress have shown promise for expanding the cells at the emb...

Primate nonhuman and human embryonic stem (ES) cells provide a powerful model of early cardiogenesis. Furthermore, engineering of cardiac progenitors or cardiomyocytes from ES cells offers a tool for drug screening in toxicology or to search for molecules to improve and scale up the process of ca...
