Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can differentiate into any cell lineage (pluripotency potential) derived from the three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Pluripotency is usually demonstrated in vitro by spontaneous differentiation of hESCs grown on a monolayer of feeder-cells using an embryoid bodies (EBs)-based method. However, currently hESCs are grown mostly using fully defined media in the absence of a feeder layer. Here we describe a EBs-based protocol that allows multilineage differentiation of hESCs and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) grown on feeder-free conditions.
