Stem cells are unspecialized cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into specialised cell types. Key stem cell models include embryonic stem cells (ESCs), adult (somatic) stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and cancer stem cells (CSCs).
Small molecule tools help researchers control signalling pathways during in vitro culture and differentiation — including canonical Wnt, TGF-β/Activin, Notch, Hedgehog and retinoic acid pathways. Hello Bio supplies high-quality stem cell small molecules at accessible prices (often ~50% lower than standard suppliers), designed for real academic and grant-funded research budgets.

Choosing Stem Cell Tools
Selection depends on your cell type, workflow stage (maintenance vs differentiation), and whether you’re optimising survival during handling. These quick pointers link to commonly used options:
|
If your priority is cell survival during passaging / cryopreservation |
If you’re working in iPSC reprogramming or Wnt-driven protocols |
|
If you’re supporting neuronal differentiation workflows |
