Figure 1From: Impact of stirred suspension bioreactor culture on the differentiation of murine embryonic stem cells into cardiomyocytesPluripotency of bioreactor differentiated cells as shown by tumor formation in SCID mice. A) The 125-mL NDS stirred-suspension bioreactor. B) Sections of teratoma generated from non-drug selected pluripotent mESCs in bioreactor showing cells from all three germ layers: (Star) Mesoderm; (Circle) Ectoderm; (Triangle) Endoderm (H&E staining). C) Teratoma derived from mESCs after differentiation under static culture system. The majority of teratoma contains unorganized tissue. Only some gut-like epithelial cells were recognizable (Square).Back to article page
