Abstract:
Culture media which contain a water-soluble polymer, such as polyvinyl alcohol and the like, and albumin, and the like, are useful for the proliferation of stem cells, and show good culture results, particularly with iPS cells, and maintain the stability of the medium properties, as well as using a reduced amount of albumin.
Abstract:
Cultivating a pluripotent stem cell in a medium comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of ethanolamine, an ethanolamine analog, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and which is substantially free of β-mercaptoethanol or contains β-mercaptoethanol at a concentration of not more than 9 μM, and the like, is effective for the proliferation of a pluripotent stem cell while maintaining an undifferentiated state.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a composition for promoting cell proliferation containing polylysine in which at least one amino group is mono-substituted by dicarboxylic acid.
Abstract:
A medium which comprises a fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and a sulfated compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a concentration which promotes the growth of a stem cell in the presence of FGF, is useful for culturing stem cells.
