摘要
Basic fibroblast growth factor and members of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily are important regulators of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) self-renewal. Extensive cross-talk between the intracellular signaling pathways activated by these factors contributes to maintenance of the undifferentiated hESC state. Understanding the molecular regulation of hESC self-renewal will facilitate the design of improved systems for hESC propagation and provide a foundation for strategies to direct the differentiation of hESCs to clinically relevant cell types.
