Definition

role held by a material entity when it is used, or planned to be used to activate signaling pathways that drive cell fate decisions, lineage commitment, or functional specialization within a cell culture

Explanatory Notes

Differentiation inducers are commonly cytokines, growth factors, or small molecules that alter developmental programs in culture

Examples

  • IL-7 and IL-15 solution bearing a differentiation inducer role when added to CAR-T cell cultures to promote memory T-cell phenotype; Activin A bearing a differentiation inducer role when added to human pluripotent stem cell cultures to direct differentiation toward definitive endoderm lineage

Counter-Examples

  • Glucose feed added to sustain T-cell metabolism
