Proteins for Stem Cell Culture
Streamline your stem cell culture with ExreproteinTM recombinant cytokines and growth factors. We prioritize consistent results, rigorously testing our proteins to guarantee robust stem cell expansion and differentiation. Each lot undergoes thorough testing to confirm high bioactivity, exceptional purity, and low endotoxin levels.

Mesoderm Differentiation
Directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into mesoderm involves guiding these cells through specific stages to become mesodermal progenitors. Once mesodermal progenitors are obtained, they can be further differentiated into specific mesodermal derivatives such as cardiac muscle cells, skeletal muscle cells, hematopoietic cells, or osteoblasts.

Hematopoeitic Stem Cells
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent stem cells giving rise to all blood cell types from both the myeloid and lymphoid lineages. This includes monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, erythrocytes, megakaryocytes/platelets, dendritic cells, T cells, B cells, and NK cells. HSCs can be found predominantly in adult bone marrow and to lesser extents in peripheral blood, and umbilical cord blood.
Culturing HSCs requires a precise combination of cytokines and growth factors to support their proliferation, differentiation, and maintenance. The combination and concentration of these cytokines and growth factors can be adjusted to direct HSCs towards specific lineages.

Neural Stem Cells
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are found throughout the developing central nervous system (CNS) as well as in specialized neurogenic regions of the mature CNS. NSCs are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into neurons and glial cells, including oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. NSCs are valuable for neuroscience research and clinical applications, particularly for advancing treatments of neurodegenerative diseases and neurological disorders. NSCs for cell culture are isolated from tissue or differentiated from pluripotent cells using specific cytokines and growth factors to also support proliferation and maintenance.
