Production of Cultured Stem Cells Using Nanotopography

June 27, 2014

(News-Medical) – Over the last few years, studies have provided a better understanding of how to control the differentiation of MSCs [mesenchymal stem cells] using material surface engineering, such as stiffness, chemistry, nanotopography, etc. These techniques are currently being used to control the growth of MSCs. Nanotopography has identified a distinct pattern that allows MSCs to grow and multiply without unwanted differentiation. This surface is called StemXpander.
