Menstrual Blood-derived Cells 'feed' Embryonic Stem Cells

The human embryonic stem cells must remain undifferentiated to be suitable for medical transplantation. In determining the best way to culture hESCs so that they remain undifferentiated and also grow, proliferate and survive, researchers have used blood cell "feeder-layer" cultures using animal-derived feeder cells, often from mice (mouse embryonic fibroblasts [MEFs]).
