Potassium as a pluripotency-associated element identified through inorganic element profiling in human pluripotent stem cells

Abstract Despite their well-known function in maintaining normal cell physiology, how inorganic elements are relevant to cellular pluripotency and differentiation in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has yet to be systematically explored. Using total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) spectrome...
