Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium”. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”.

Ideally, “PSC” should be obtained at the end of culture.

Step 2: Primitive streak 1

day 1 ~ 2 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium”. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.

Step 3: mesoderm 1

day 2 ~ 3 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium”. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.

Step 4: mesoderm 2

day 3 ~ 4 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium”. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.
