“…Therefore, it is not surprising that N2B27 base medium, which is also based on DMEM/F12 30 , supported long-term culture of bESCs after BSA supplementation. N2B27 has also been demonstrated to support the culture of PSCs in several other species, including cattle 8 , 16 , 24 , 30 . Interestingly, even though Essential 6 is also based on DMEM/F12, it did not show the same potential for replacing custom mTeSR1, even after BSA supplementation.…”
