Notes: All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA, Item No. 11017) is frequently used in cell culture to induce stem cell differentiation or enhance the growth, differentiation, and maintenance of neural cell types.{27145,27146,27147} Unfortunately, ATRA is readily susceptible to isomerisation and degradation upon exposure to light or other factors such as temperature and oxidation, which presents confounding issues for cell culture. EC 23 is a photostable synthetic analog of ATRA that induces differentiation in human pluripotent embryonic stem cells when used within the range of 100 nM-10 µM.{27145,27146,27147}
