NIH3T3 cells are crucial to a variety of embryonic stem cell research experiments, yet the cells themselves are murine fibroblasts, and are not the actual targets of such experiments. Rather, NIH3T3 cells serve as feeder layers in cell culture – providing necessary nutrients to the primary cells involved in research and enabling a realistic environment for the growth of stem cells in culture. Different kinds of proteins can be expressed if the cells are transfected with effective reagents , ensuring that custom research can proceed; should growth factors be necessary to the growth of different types of cells, simply transfecting the necessary sequences into cells will result in the proper expression. As such, other kinds of media can be structured with the NIH3T3 cell line, rendering it an important tool for biomedical research.
