Human induced pluripotent stem cells (also known as iPS cells or iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from a human somatic cell. The iPSC technology was pioneered by Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi in Kyoto, Japan, which uses four specific transcription factor genes (named Myc, Oct3/4, Sox2 and Klf4), collectively known as Yamanaka factors, to convert somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells.

BiCell-mESC Culture Kit contains media and reagents for all steps of human induced pluripotent stem cell culture and maintenance. This kit has been validated for use of human iPS cell culture and development of human organoids.
