METHODS AND DEVICES FOR HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING OF CONDITIONS AFFECTING STEM CELL DIFFERENTIATION

Inventor GU, Yansong
Assignee EWING, James F.
Title of Invention METHODS AND DEVICES FOR HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING OF CONDITIONS AFFECTING STEM CELL DIFFERENTIATION
Abstract

Disclosed are methods and systems for testing the effects of various morphogens and/or feeder cells on the differentiation of pluripotent cells. The assays described herein can be used for determining the optimum conditions that lead to differentiation of stem cells. Once the optimum conditions for stem cell differentiation are determined, such cells may be used in a variety of therapies.
