Expansion, Recovery and Characterization of hMSCs on Dissolvable Microcarriers for Bioprocess Applications

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are currently the most common adult stem cell type used for cell therapy applications due to their regenerative properties and ability to differentiate into multiple cell lineages (adipocyte, chondro¬cyte, and osteocyte). Traditionally, hMSCs have been cultured on two-dimensional cell culture platforms using serum-containing medium. Although these platforms can be used successfully for small-scale expansion of hMSCs, other platforms will be required to generate the quantity of cells required to support the increasing number of clinical…
