<\/span>“Training course for human iPS cells” FY2025<\/h5>\r\n <\/a>\r\n

Human iPS cells cannot be cultured with ordinary culture method and it requires special skills. This course provides a lecture and practical training for the method of passaging human iPS cells with feeder cells.<\/p>\r\n

Some of human iPS cells (including iPS cells derived from patients) are cryopreserved with a vitrification method in our repository. The procedures of the vitrification method are specific and quite different from the procedures of conventional slow-cooling method which is most commonly used in cell culture. Consequently, the thawing procedures for the cells preserved with the vitrification method are also quite different from the procedures of typical thawing method for ordinary cell lines. In this course, we will offer a lecture on how to cryopreserve human iPS cells with a vitrification method and how to thaw them in 1-day course.<\/p>\r\n
