Hypoxia inducible factors regulate pluripotency and proliferation in human proliferation in human embryonic stem cells cultured at reduced oxygen tensions

Human embryonic stem (hES) cells are routinely cultured under atmospheric, 20% oxygen tensions but are derived from embryos which reside in a 3-5% oxygen (hypoxic) environment. Maintenance of oxygen homeostasis is critical to ensure sufficient levels for oxygen dependent processes. This study invest...
