Large-scale time-lapse microscopy of Oct4 expression in human embryonic stem cell colonies

Identification and quantification of the characteristics of stem cell preparations is critical for understanding stem cell biology and for the development and manufacturing of stem cell based therapies. We have developed image analysis and visualization software that allows effective use of time-lap...
