General description

Fatty Acid-Albumin - complexes have been employed as alternative sources of lipids in the development of serum-free media. Fatty acids bind to serum proteins in high proportions. Such proteins may release beneficial fatty acids and bind those that are inhibitory. Linoleic acid, a precursor of prostaglandins bound to BSA is beneficial to the growth of a variety of cell types (e.g., BHK, hybridoma). It also improves its stability and solubility in culture media.

Application

Linoleic Acid-Albumin from bovine serum albumin is used in the cell line culture and cell differentiation medium.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) was reported to regulate triacyl glycerol synthesis in various cells. Linoleic acid and its metabolites were thought to modulate the signal transduction of growth factors. This study determined whether linoleic acid regulated the effect of EGF

Adult neural crest stem-derived cells (NCSC) are of extraordinary high plasticity and promising candidates for use in regenerative medicine. Several locations such as skin, adipose tissue, dental pulp or bone marrow have been described in rodent, as sources of NCSC.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a promising melanocyte source as they propagate indefinitely and can be established from patients. However, the in vivo functions of human iPSC-derived melanocytes (hiMels) remain unknown. Here, we generated hiMels from vitiligo patients using a three-dimensional

Skeletal stem and progenitor cell populations are crucial for bone physiology. Characterization of these cell types remains restricted to heterogenous bulk populations with limited information on whether they are unique or overlap with previously characterized cell types. Here we show
