Three-step method for proliferation and differentiation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived male germ cells.

The low efficiency of differentiation into male germ cell (GC)-like cells and haploid germ cells from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) reflects the culture method employed in the two-dimensional (2D)-microenvironment. In this study, we applied a three-step media and calcium alginate-based 3D-cultu...
