Novel triblock co-polymer nanofibre system as an alternative support for embryonic stem cells growth and pluripotency [PDF]
Conventionally, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are cultured on gelatin or over a mitotically inactivated monolayer of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFsi). Considering the lack of versatile, non-animal-derived and inexpensive materials for that purpose, we ...
