A METHOD TO IDENTIFY AND ISOLATE PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS USING ENDOGENOUS BLUE FLUORESCENCE

摘要

The instant disclosure provides for a method of identifying and isolating pluripotent stem cells and distinguishing pluripotent stem cells from differentiating/ differentiated cells, using the property of endogenous blue fluorescence emitted from intracellular lipid bodies which serves as an endogenous marker for the pluripotent state.
