Small Molecule Activators [Organoid Culture] — includes steroid hormones, prostaglandins, and small compounds such as forskolin that act as signaling activators of cell signaling pathways in organoid culture medium formulations to promote proliferation and differentiation of stem cells, while maintaining the balance of tissue self-renewal.
Small molecule activators such as dexamethasone, retinoic acid, testosterone, and heparin sodium are used by cell biology and organoid development researchers to formulate 3D culture media for mini-organs such as intestine, liver, or tumor organoids, supporting directed differentiation toward specific cell types. Combinations of these factors are also used in disease models and organoid-based drug screening assays.
Example products in this collection: TCI T0027 58-22-0 Testosterone, TCI D1961 50-02-2 Dexamethasone, TCI R0064 302-79-4 Retinoic Acid, TCI F0855 66575-29-9 Forskolin, TCI P1884 363-24-6 Prostaglandin E2, TCI H0393 9041-08-1 Heparin Sodium Salt from Hog intestine.
Choose based on purity and biological source (for example, heparin from porcine intestinal mucosa), solubility in the medium solvent, and compound stability against light and storage temperature so that biological activity is maintained. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
