Differentiating Macrophages from iPSCs

New methods for deriving macrophages from induced pluripotent stem cells are easier to scale and provide more clinically relevant data.

Share

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have given scientists easier access to many cell types, including macrophages. iPSC-macrophage differentiation methods have significantly improved over the last decade. Researchers developed both embryoid body-based spontaneous and growth factor-assisted protocols.  In particular, the adoption of serum-free media has proven effective in paving the way for scalable and clinically applicable macrophage generation.
