Abstract
A serum-free media composition for maintenance or directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) toward particular cell lineages is disclosed. The media comprises one or more cell nutrient media, a recombinant human albumin or equivalent thereof and optionally at least one agent involved in HESC differentiation. The media composition is substantially free of any human or animal derived products.
