In
embryoid bodies formed from NU6140 treated hES cells commitment to ectodermal and mesodermal lineages was affected compared to
embryoid bodies formed from untreated cells.
To study spontaneous differentiation 4-day-old
embryoid bodies were plated in tissue culture dishes in standard embryonic stem cell media without LIF while for the neuronal differentiation study embryonic stem cells were subjected to an 8-day induction procedure that consisted of 4 days of culture as aggregates without RA followed by 4 days of culture in the presence of 1 [micro]M RA ('4-/4+').
Among the different kinds of cells within the
embryoid bodies were germ cells destined to become sperm.
But one major limitation is that the researchers were not able to recapitulate the wholebody physiology of a pregnant woman using differentiation of hESCs into
embryoid bodies.
Total RNA was prepared from tissues and
embryoid bodies using ISOGEN (Nippon Gene, Japan) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

We have shown that iPS cells can be magnetically labeled with nanoscale iron particles and still maintain pluripotency, demonstrated by the formation of
embryoid bodies and teratomas from m-iPS cells.
Approach 2: 2.3 Assemble

(a) hOB-iPSC
embryoid bodies (EBs) labeled with antibodies for cytoplasmic germlayer markers, [beta]-III tubulin ([beta]-III; ectoderm), AFP (endoderm), and SMA (mesoderm).
Currently, two basic methods for cardiac differentiation of human PSC lines are in use: differentiation of cultured human PSCs as a monolayer and as
embryoid bodies (EBs) (reviewed in [2, 3]).
Many laboratory growth methods allow stem cells to aggregate in three-dimensional clumps called "
embryoid bodies" during differentiation.
