Cost-effective,practical,and reproducible culture of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) is required for basic and translational research. Basal 8 (B8) has emerged as a cost-effective solution for weekend-free and chemically-defined hPSC culture. However,the requirement to home-produce some recombinant growth factors for B8 can hinder access and reproducibility. Moreover,we found the published B8 formulation suboptimal in widely-used normoxic hPSC culture. Lastly,the performance of B8 in functional applications such as genome editing or organoid differentiation required systematic evaluation. We formulated B8 with commercially available,growth factors and adjusted its composition to support normoxic culture of WTC11 human induced pluripotent stem cell line. We compared this formulation (B8+) with commercial Essential 8 (cE8) and a home-made,weekend-free E8 formulation (hE8). We measured pluripotency marker expression and cell cycle by flow cytometry,and investigated the transcriptional profiles by bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing. We further assessed genomic stability,genome editing efficiency,single-cell cloning,and differentiation in both monolayer and organoids. Finally,we validated key findings using male (H1) and female (H9) human embryonic stem cells. hE8 performed comparably to cE8 across most functional assays and cell lines. In contrast,cells in B8+ displayed higher NANOG expression and improved genome editing efficiency. At the same time,B8+ led to gene expression changes indicative of marked lineage priming,reflected in altered morphology and differential response to some differentiation protocols. Both weekend-free media resulted in a modest transcriptional shift towards a less metabolically active state,consistent with intermittent media starvation. Homemade weekend-free media can provide a cost-effective alternative to commercial formulations. hE8,integrating some features of B8 while resembling cE8,emerges as a robust and practical option with limited compromises. B8+,though advantageous in some contexts,warrants caution due to lineage priming effects that may impact differentiation outcomes. View Publication
