• Superior Transfection of Human Embryonic Stem Cells with FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent
  

  Gene manipulation techniques are potentially powerful tools in many applications for human embryonic stem (ES) cell research. Controlling expression levels of specific genes may improve the efficiency of differentiation induction. Cell types of interest may be collected using marker genes and antibiotic resistance genes. Tracking of ES cells derived after engraftment could be facilitated by tracer genes. It may also be possible to selectively destroy transplanted cells. more
