Growing cells in the laboratory is known as cell culture. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are generated by transferring cells from a preimplantation-stage embryo into a plastic laboratory culture dish that contains a nutrient broth known as culture medium. The cells divide and spread over the surface of the dish. read more
Growth of embryonic stem cells in the laboratory. Embryonic stem cells are grown in the laboratory using a procedure called cell culture. The human embryonic stem cells are first isolated by removing the inner cell mass into a plastic laboratory culture dish that contains a nutrient medium or broth called the culture medium. read more
