Discovery of a Novel Polymer for Xeno-Free, Long-Term Culture of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Expansion (2020)
Journal Article
Nasir, A., Thorpe, J., Burroughs, L., Meurs, J., Pijuan‐Galito, S., Irvine, D. J., …Denning, C. (2020). Discovery of a Novel Polymer for Xeno-Free, Long-Term Culture of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Expansion. Advanced Healthcare Materials, 10(6), Article 2001448. https://doi.org/10.1002/adhm.202001448

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be expanded and differentiated in vitro into almost any adult tissue cell type, and thus have great potential as a source for cell therapies with biomedical application. In this study, a fully-defined polymer... Read More about Discovery of a Novel Polymer for Xeno-Free, Long-Term Culture of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Expansion.
