GS1-R medium citation list

GS1-R medium is a defined, serum-free cell culture medium for deriving, maintaining, and propagating rat pluripotent stem cells. The medium utilizes a two small molecule inhibitor-based method (2i), which blocks ERK (PD184352), and GSK3 (CHIR99021). This technique blocks differentiating-inducing signals, promotes cell survival, and is a powerful way to keep pluripotent stem cells in a basal, ground-state that enables germline-competency. Read below for a citation list of studies in which GS1-R was used in peer-reviewed basic, translational, preclinical, and biomedical research.
