IGF1-mediated human embryonic stem cell self-renewal recapitulates the embryonic niche

The signals regulating the establishment and maintenance of the pluripotent epiblast in human embryos are unclear. Here, the authors use a bioinformatics approach to identify the role of IGF1 in human embryo development, and from this, propose a culture medium with IGF1 together with Activin to sust...
