Biological Activity:
A small molecule that enhances the survival of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) after trypsinzation; ROCK inhibitor; Thiazovivin dramatically improves (200-fold) the efficiency of iPSC generation from human fibroblasts, when used in combination with ALK5 inhibitor SB 431542 (Axon 1661) and MEK inhibitor PD 0325091 (Axon 1408).
