Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

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

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

Ideally, “PSC” should express “POU5F1”, “NANOG”, “SOX2” at the end of culture.

Step 2: Primitive streak 1

day 1 ~ 2

culture “unspecified method” human PSC in “DMEM/F12 medium” for “1” days. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

Ideally, “NCC” should express “P75”, “TFAP2A”, “TFAP2B”, “SOX10”, “SOX9”, “HNK-1”, “ZO-1”, “Na+/K+-ATPase”, “SNAIL2”, “ACTA2” at the end of culture.
