General description
MegaCell™ is a line of versatile media, formulated to significantly reduce the amount of serum required for cultivating mammalian cells in vitro. It is effective as a basal formulation for the growth and maintenance of adherent or suspension cell lines. When supplemented with 3% fetal bovine serum (FBS), MegaCell supports proliferative rates and maximal cell densities comparable, and in some cases superior, to the conventional basal formulation supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.
Application
MegaCell™ RPMI-1640 Medium has been used:
- as a component of the TSC medium for culturing trophoblast stem cells (TSC)
- as a component of 25 ng/ml FGF4 and 1 g/ml heparin (TSF4H medium) for culturing TSCs
- as a component of embryo-like structures (ETS) embryo medium and TS cell medium for culturing embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and TSCs
Reconstitution
Supplement with 4 mM L-glutamine (20 ml of 200 mM solution, G7513)

Mammalian embryogenesis requires the coordination of embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues to enable implantation into the uterus and post-implantation development to establish the body plan. Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are a useful tool for studying pluripotent embryonic tissue in vitro.

Stem cell-specific transcriptional networks are well known to control pluripotency, but constitutive cellular processes such as mRNA splicing and protein synthesis can add complex layers of regulation with poorly understood effects on cell-fate decisions. Here, we show that the RNA

Mammalian blastocysts comprise three distinct cell lineages essential for development beyond implantation: the pluripotent epiblast, which generates the future embryo, and surrounding it the extra-embryonic primitive endoderm and the trophectoderm tissues. Embryonic stem cells can reintegrate into embryogenesis but contribute
