Expansion And Preservation Of Multipotentiality Of Rabbit Bone-Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells In Dextran-Based Microcarrier Spin Culture, Tunku Kamarul Zaman

Tunku Kamarul Zaman

The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in tissue repair and regeneration despite their multipotentiality has been limited by their cell source quantity and decelerating proliferative yield efficiency. A study was thus undertaken to determine the feasibility of using microcarrier beads in spinner flask cultures for MSCs expansion and compared to that of conventional monolayer cultures and static microcarrier cultures. Isolation and characterization of bone marrow derived MSCs were conducted from six adult New Zealand white rabbits. Analysis of cell morphology on microcarriers and culture plates at different time points (D0, D3, D10, D14) during cell culture were performed using …
