Product Overview
Y27632 is a Rho-associated kinase ROCK inhibitor1. Y27632 has recently been found to prevent apoptosis, as well as enhance the survival and cloning efficiency of dissociated human embryonic stem (ES) cells without affecting their self-renewal properties or pluripotency2. This inhibitor has also been shown to enhance survival during the transplantation of ES cell-derived neural precursors3.
