Continuous hypoxic culturing of human embryonic stem cells enhances SSEA-3 and MYC levels.

Low oxygen tension (hypoxia) contributes critically to pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) by preventing spontaneous differentiation and supporting self-renewal. However, it is not well understood how hESCs respond to reduced oxygen availability and what are the molecular mechanisms m...
